Proceeding contribution from Lord Jackson of Peterborough (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 21 April 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.

Finance Bill

I thank my hon. Friend for giving way. Does he share my concern at the lack of the Government's contrition about the fact that, because of their fiscal policies, they are forcing more of the poorer working people to pay taxes, and at the same time more than 5 million people are on some form of welfare? Their uncontrolled, unfettered immigration policy has meant that more people who want to work in this country are being forced on to benefits.
