Proceeding contribution from Sarah Newton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 22 November 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Savings Accounts and Health in Pregnancy Grant Bill.


Savings Accounts and Health in Pregnancy Grant Bill

I agree that the coalition definitely wants to enable people to make better financial decisions, and I am sure that the Minister will detail all the ways in which we plan to do that, but I want to bring the right hon. Gentleman back to the evidence that we heard about the saving gateway from the Institute for Fiscal Studies:"““There was not any really strong evidence from the saving gateway that it led to more overall saving from lower-income households.””" I could go on. There is not the strong evidence base that the right hon. Gentleman refers to.
