Sir Ashley Fox

Conservative — Bridgwater

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 May 2025

Debate

Income Tax: Personal Allowance

Contribution

I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for introducing the debate. Will he join me in paying tribute to my constituent, Mr Alan Frost, for raising the number of signatures required to achieve the debate? Does he also agree that freezing the level of the basic allowance at £12,570 most heavily impacts pensioners with limited income, who find themselves paying more income tax on small occupational pensions as time goes by?
