Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Gregory Campbell and Darren Jones

Tuesday 29th October 2024 Commons Chamber

[Darren Jones]

[Mr Gregory Campbell (East Londonderry) (DUP)]

However “working people” is defined, does the Chancellor not accept that people on low incomes and part-time employees who earn up to £300 a week should be exempt from paying income tax?
