Eureka!
A few extra bob for the lower paid if Im absorbing all that right. There was much more in the info pack but have cut it down for easy digestibility. These are obviously the extra measures kicking in after the 10p tax fiasco earlier in the year, where the government abolished the tax relief for the very low paid. It caused uproar as you might remember. They didnt spot the clanger themselves but rushed to make amends with the measures you see kicking in now.
Anything extra in the wage packet will be very welcome in these hard times of rising prices.
The government took steps to kick start the housing market yesterday too. I think most fair minded people would recognise that the present economic pinch we are all feeling has little to do with our internal situation here in the UK..ie ..all our crippling price rises are stemming from overseas. Its all those nasty foreigners to blame!
