Finance Bill

Proceeding contribution from Jacob Rees-Mogg (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 2 July 2012. It occurred during Debate on bills on Finance Bill.

I am extremely grateful to the hon. Gentleman for giving way and am enjoying his wanderings through the drinking habits of certain Members of the House, which I am not sure are directly relevant. Why is it fair that pensioners should have this benefit but not families who have a £10,000 allowance who are struggling with children? What is it fair that the benefit should be age-related?
