§ Mr. Fabian HamiltonTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what plans he has to reintroduce the option of joint tax assessment for married couples, with particular reference to single-earner couples. [89895]
§ Dawn PrimaroloNone. The Government believe that the measures announced in the Chancellor's Budgets-such as the lop starting rate of tax, National Insurance Contributions reform, the introduction of the children's tax credit—provide a better deal for people in work and for families.
