Proceeding contribution from Ian Pearson (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

The Bill is targeted at people of working age, and those on lower incomes. We want to kick-start the saving habit and to ensure that people continue to save throughout life. Taxation on savings is part of general Government policy, and that is the best answer that I can give.
