Proceeding contribution from Barry Gardiner (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 28 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.
Finance Bill
My apologies, Mr Deputy Speaker. I am delighted that the hon. Gentleman has said that this measure is not about incentivising marriage, or about penalising people. Can he therefore explain why, under the proposals, a woman with children who has recently been widowed would suffer a financial loss at precisely the time when the family needed the money the most? That seems to me to be a fundamental flaw in the proposals.
