Lord Livermore (Lab)
The noble Earl knows full well that I will not be commenting on the movements of bond markets.
Baroness Penn (Con)
I will not ask the Minister to comment on bond markets or to speculate. I will simply ask him whether he agrees with himself when he told this Chamber last year that a freeze on income tax thresholds would be a tax rise on working people costing them billions of pounds.
Lord Livermore (Lab)
The noble Baroness did exactly what she said she would not do and asked me to comment on individual tax measures—something she knows that I am not going to do.
