Reducing the tax burden for people on low incomes – how did your MP vote?

In a move that proved beyond doubt that Labour had lost all interest in supporting working people on low incomes, Gordon Brown’s final budget as Chancellor saw the party double the tax for people earning less than £10,000, by completely scrapping the 10p tax rate.

The following MPs voted against the Liberal Democrat proposal to reverse Labour’s shocking plan (all Labour, unless stated):

Aberavon – Hywel Francis

Alyn and Deeside – Mark Tami

Bridgend – Madeleine Moon

Caernarfon – Hywel Williams (Plaid Cymru)

Caerphilly – Wayne David

Cardiff North – Julie Morgan
