Finance Bill 2003 [ Certified Money Bill ] : Committee and Remaining Stages.
10:30 am
Jim Higgins (Fine Gael)
As regards the misrepresentation of the Fine Gael viewpoint, we want equal treatment for stay-at-home spouses and for people who go to work. As regards the allowance, the fact it has not been indexed in the meantime suggests it might as well be abolished. The Minister has not indicated any intention to increase it. It will shrivel up and lose its value.
