<p>The Coalition Government has taken, and will continue to take, decisive action
to support families on the lowest incomes: increasing the personal allowance taking
over 3.2m individuals out of income tax altogether by 2015/16, helping to freeze Council
Tax, freezing Fuel Duty until the end of the parliament, reducing energy bills, providing
universal free school meals for all infant school pupils, and introducing tax free
childcare support of up to £2,000.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Getting more people
into work alongside improving productivity is the best way to support living standards,
as the Bank of England and IFS have said. Sticking to the Government’s long term economic
plan to build a stronger and more resilient economy is the best way to do this. Under
this government there are more people in work than ever before and unemployment fell
538,000 in the past year – the fastest fall since records began.</p><p> </p>
