Proceeding contribution from Lord Oakeshott of Seagrove Bay (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 23 March 2009. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Tax Credits Up-rating Regulations 2009.


Tax Credits Up-rating Regulations 2009

I am sorry if I missed this point in the noble Lord’s reply, but will he answer my simple question on whether benefits such as these will be cut if inflation is negative over the next year? If he cannot give that assurance, it will be very worrying for many people who rely on these benefits.
