COMPENSATION FOR ABOLITION OF 10 PENCE TAX RATE
Early day motion 1279, tabled 2 April 2009 by Lord Field of Birkenhead (Labour). Signed by 63 members.
That this House records with real disappointment that up to 3.8 million individual taxpayers are still worse off as a result of the abolition of the 10 pence tax rate; registers that the two measures the Government have since announced do not yet compensate them fully; and calls on the House to secure justice for this group of low tax paying workers at the next Budget.
