Finance (No. 2) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Chris Leslie (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 April 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Finance (No. 2) Bill.

I will give way to the hon. Gentleman in a moment, but I ask him to bear it in mind that it is important to be open with his constituents about the full picture of what has been happening with tax and benefit changes. He needs to answer a question prompted by the independent Institute for Fiscal Studies, which has calculated the impact of all the tax and benefit changes since 2010 on his constituents. Its conclusion is that the typical household is £900 worse off after those tax rises and cuts to benefits and tax credits. Does he disagree with the analysis of the independent IFS?
