Proceeding contribution from Lord Davies of Oldham (Labour) 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 apologise to the noble Baroness; she asked that specific question and I failed to answer it although I had a note on it. We do not consult the SSAC on uprating orders because they are an annual occurrence. That allows both Houses to debate these increases in detail, as we have the opportunity to do today. That is a standard convention, which all Governments have followed. We have not consulted on this; after all, we consult the bodies that matter—the two Houses of Parliament. Motion agreed.
