Proceeding contribution from Julia Goldsworthy (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

The Minister has just said that the Chancellor will return to this issue in the pre-Budget report. Will he also take into consideration the other issues, besides the changes to the 10p rate, that are affecting the losers? I was contacted today by a constituent who feels that she has been hit by a double whammy, because she will also lose out as a result of the switch from housing benefit to housing allowance. Can the Minister give me an assurance that all these cross-cutting issues will be looked into when the Chancellor returns to this matter in the pre-Budget report?
