The motion
That this House notes recent informed opinion in the financial press regarding the negative effect of combined income tax and national insurance contributions on the take-home pay of employees in the UK; recognises that the lower paid in our society will benefit significantly as will the economy as a whole if the threshold at which any deductions begin is raised to £12,000 per annum; and calls on the Government to ensure that the economic recovery is shared more widely by the implementation of such a proposal.
