This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition Take immediate action to ensure that working households have a disposable income of GBP26,000.00p the same as non-working households.
More details
Now that the government has decreed that GBP26,000.00p is the level of disposable income which is required to survive in this country it is immoral and grossly unjustified to take money in taxes and national insurance contributions from households whose disposable income is less than GBP26,000.00p and hand it over to ensure a better lifestyle for those who are in non-working households.
