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


Income Tax

Credit where credit is due: people often say that politicians do not listen, but the Chancellor has shown that he has listened and he has acted very quickly to help low-paid people in my constituency. I am very grateful for that, but does he agree that it is difficult out there at the moment? People are struggling with the rise in food prices and the price of fuel, which are due to world economic circumstances. Will he give me an assurance that he will continue to look out for the interests of those on modest incomes?
