Proceeding contribution from Lord Redwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.
Finance Bill
I can see the temptation to make a party point or two in these circumstances, but is there not one view that unites Members in all parts of the House? We are genuinely puzzled over why some of those on the lowest incomes should face this tax increase, and we cannot believe that the Government really intended it. Is it not rather a pity that the Financial Secretary did not repeat the assurance that all 1.1 million people would be guaranteed not to be worse off by whatever means the Government come up with in the autumn? Is that not a concern that we can all share?
