Proceeding contribution from Countess of Mar (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 2 July 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

I, too, give the amendment my warm support. Most of these people will not be in the income tax bracket, but we have no hesitation about claiming income tax rebates. If it was an income tax benefit, we might think a bit differently. It is a tax and it should be called a rebate.
