HC Deb 29 June 1978 vol 952 c623W
23. Mr. Hugh Jenkins

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if it is his policy further to redistribute income from the rich to the poor; and what proposals he has to this end.

Mr. Joel Barnett

One of the priorities of my right hon. Friend's Budget was to concentrate help on the low income groups and families and this concern will continue to underlie our decisions in all areas of policy.
