Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation

Andrew Bridgen Excerpts

Thursday 9th July 2015 Commons Chamber

[Chris Leslie]

I do not think that was a very polite reaction from Conservative Members. My hon. Friend worked very hard during her time in local government to try to support the low-paid by introducing a London living wage, and I think it commendable that local authorities and businesses in London, in particular, have tried to make headway with that. Of course, a real living wage now needs to be about £12 to compensate for the reduction in tax credits.
