Proceeding contribution from Anne McGuire (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 July 2010. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HC) and Debate on bill on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

Does my hon. Friend share the concern of many disabled people who are on disability allowance and who are faced with an unspecified threat to the continuation of that benefit? At the same time, they will have to meet the extra cost that will result from the VAT increase. The DLA, which is designed to meet the extra costs of their disability, will be undermined from January 2011 by at least 2.5%.
