Orders of the Day — New Clause 4 — Income tax rates — 1 Jul 2008 at 18:15
Alan Whitehead MP, Southampton, Test voted with the majority (No).
The Majority of MPs voted against a new clause from being added to the Finance Bill 2008.
Specifically, this clause would have required the Chancellor of the Exchequer to tell the Commons what measures were being taken, or were intended to be taken, to help those who would have a net increase in income tax payable as a result of the Act being passed. One of the most contentious issues concerned the abolition of the 10p starting rate for income tax. (See this article for more detail on this issue.)
