Taxation of Low-income Families
The following is an extract from a debate on Taxation of Low-income Families in Westminster Hall on 16 January 2019.
The Financial Secretary to the Treasury (Mel Stride)
The Conservative party introduced the national living wage. We should be enormously proud of that fact. It goes up by 4.9% in April, so those in full-time employment will take home £2,750 more than they did in 2010.
[Official Report, 16 January 2019, Vol. 652, c. 398WH.]
Letter of correction from Mel Stride:
