Lords ChamberThe Government are committed to making sure that the wealthiest in our society pay their fair share of tax, consistent with our commitment to economic growth. That is why the Chancellor announced a series of reforms at the Budget to help to fix the public finances in as fair a way as possible. That is absolutely what we are doing, and we are ensuring the fairest treatment to those affected.
My Lords, are the Government thinking that this money they are going to raise from all the non-doms is actually going to—as the former Labour Party might have hoped—lift people out of poverty, rather than crush them even further into poverty, as seems to be happening at the moment?
