Proceeding contribution from Liam Byrne (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 November 2011. It occurred during Opposition day on Living Standards.
Living Standards
I am grateful to the Secretary of State and I am following his argument closely. Further to the intervention from my hon. Friend, the right hon. Gentleman will no doubt have seen the analysis from the Institute for Fiscal Studies this morning. If it is true that the Government are not hitting the poorest families harder, why has the IFS said that for 2012-13 the poorest three deciles in this country are being hit three times harder than the overall average?
