Proceeding contribution from Clive Efford (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 28 June 2010. It occurred during Budget debate on Budget Debate.
Capital Gains Tax (Rates)
On page 33 of the Red Book, paragraph 1.102 makes it quite clear that the Government intend to reduce housing benefit to people of working age if they under-occupy council housing. In his response to an intervention, the Secretary of State referred to pensioners under-occupying social housing. Does that not give the lie to what is in the Red Book, and show the real intention of housing benefit changes, which are an attack on pensioners?
