Proceeding contribution from Lord Darling of Roulanish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 May 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Income Tax.


Income Tax

I am glad the right hon. Gentleman does not want to see any reduction in the numbers of doctors, nurses and teachers. As I said in my statement, I promised the Select Committee that I would return to the matter in the pre-Budget report. The reason that I am announcing the step today is so that we can legislate in the Finance Bill that is before the House, to get the changes in place so that the extra money can be in the hands of taxpayers from September onwards.
