Proceeding contribution from Lynne Jones (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 July 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.
Finance Bill
I think it is unfair to say that the Government have not talked about poverty, but by and large it has been about child poverty or pensioner poverty. They have fallen down in not talking about people who do not fall into either of those categories because they do not have a family and are not pensioners. Those people are the worst off because they do not have extra benefits, and they will be particularly hard-hit by the measure in question.
