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

No. I said in an earlier reply that we have been able to help 80 per cent. people whose loss will be fully compensated or even more than that. There are about a million people whose losses will be halved. I said that I wanted to revert to that in the pre-Budget report. As a result of the announcement, 600,000 people will be taken out of tax. That shows our intention, which is a little more than the Conservative party would do if it were presented with the opportunity to do anything about helping people on low incomes.
