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

There is a danger of missing the central points here, which are that people are better off in work, and we want to go further; that the tax credits are part of a package of measures, and I have listed repeatedly the many things that make work pay; and that our increases in personal tax allowances, for example, will make work pay far more than in the past. The coalition is united on that.
