Motion Text

That this House calls for the raising of the personal allowance and the level at which individuals begin paying national insurance contributions to £10,000 per annum for 2006-07, in order that those in lower paid employment can see meaningful benefit in working, whether they have dependants or not, and employers paying wages in the region of £200 per week to employees suffer no additional payroll administration in offering legitimate working hours as a result.
