Proceeding contribution from Rob Marris (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 January 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Saving Gateway Accounts Bill.


Saving Gateway Accounts Bill

I say in passing that a member of the hon. Gentleman's Front Bench team was claiming tax credits a little while ago, but on his point, clause 3(2)(c) refers to someone on jobseeker's allowance. Does he agree that a more felicitous wording would be ““income-based jobseeker's allowance””, because millionaires can get jobseeker's allowance if they lose their job, for up to six months afterwards?
