Proceeding contribution from Steve Webb (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 6 December 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Benefits Uprating.
Benefits Uprating
People are still better off in work. When we have the Secretary of State's universal credit, that will be even more the case. The hon. Gentleman is focusing on a narrow aspect of the measures that we have taken. Personal income tax allowance increases, the cuts in fuel duty compared with Labour's escalator plan and the cuts in council tax in real terms will all help people in work and make it pay to work. We have plans to take that further.
