Mrs Spelman
The hon. Lady clearly was not listening to what I said about the continuation of the Healthy Start campaign, for example. Of course, in any big society, there is no finite amount of contribution that each of us might make to the more vulnerable; there is no need to put a limit on it.
Kwasi Kwarteng (Spelthorne) (Con)
Will my right hon. Friend comment on the moves that the Government are making, such as freezing council tax and cutting fuel duty? That has made general inflation a much more manageable phenomenon for ordinary families.
Madam Deputy Speaker (Dawn Primarolo)
Not at this precise point; the right hon. Lady is speaking to the motion.
