Proceeding contribution from Kelvin Hopkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.
Finance Bill
I recently looked at our history. Between the 1920s Labour Government and the 1980s Conservative Government there was a rise of 73 per cent. in the number of people living in poverty. That was partly as a result of changes in tax policy at that time, and partly as a result of the decision to break the link between earnings and pensions. Therefore, I must admit that I feel some scepticism when I hear Conservatives talking of their concern about poverty.
