Madam Deputy Speaker (Mrs Eleanor Laing)
I must advise the House that Mr Speaker has selected the amendment in the name of the Prime Minister.
Madam Deputy Speaker (Mrs Eleanor Laing)
Order. The Chair has noted that the hon. Member for Skipton and Ripon (Julian Smith) has departed immediately and too soon.
Mr Newmark
I fear that the hon. Lady’s answer might have frightened my colleague away. I promise that I will not run away after she answers me. Will she at least acknowledge that this Government, by raising to £10,000 the level at which tax hits, thereby taking 2.7 million people out of taxation altogether, have indeed helped the low-paid?
