Low-paid Workers

HC Deb 04 May 1972 vol 836 c191W

51. Mr. Meacher

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if, when he next takes the Chair at the National Economic Development Council, he will bring forward new proposals to assist low-paid workers.

Mr. Nott

The Government's policies have already brought substantial benefit to the low-paid. For our future proposals, I would ask the hon. Member to await the publication of the Green Paper on the Tax Credit Scheme.
