Proceeding contribution from Baroness Lister of Burtersett (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 27 February 2012. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Social Security Benefits Up-rating Order 2012.
Social Security Benefits Up-rating Order 2012
To save the Minister getting up and down, I would appreciate a comment on the point that I made about child benefit. Perhaps it is more appropriate for the noble Lord, Lord Sassoon. What is the logic of putting so much emphasis on increasing personal tax allowance in real terms and then freezing child benefit, which is the equivalent of a personal tax allowance?
