The majority of MPs voted against requiring the Government to publish an assessment of the effects of any proposed change in personal taxation -- broken down by earnings group -- and arrange for transitional relief if it is going to have an adverse effect on the lowest earnings group.[1]
This law would have been included in the Finance Bill, the law which puts the Chancellor's budget to effect.[2]
A Parliamentary Written Question attempting to elicit the information contained within such a report was published on the same day.[3]
The Julia Goldsworthy, Vince Cable, and Frank Field co-sponsored the new clause.[4] All Conservative MPs were absent from the vote, except for Bob Spink.
