Proceeding contribution from Lord Field of Birkenhead (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 24 November 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Pre-Budget Report.
Pre-Budget Report
May I bring the Chancellor back to the 6 million taxpayers who are still losers after the abolition of the 10p rate? Although I understand why he has had to find billions upon billions of pounds for City slickers who have got us into this mess, may I express my disappointment that the Government have not yet found the funds fully to compensate those lower-paid taxpayers who lost out with the abolition of the 10p rate? May I assure him that there would be tremendous support among Labour Members to ensure that, when he makes his Budget statement next year, he will be able to find those funds, fully compensate that group of workers and draw a line under that unhappy episode?
