Hon DAVID PARKER: I haven't refused to rule out the extension beyond the end of October. As I previously explained, we haven't sought advice; we're not planning to extend that payment. In respect of the inflation point, government is a complex thing, and with the inflation outturn from the COVID pandemic around the world, this Government believes that it is appropriate to assist people with temporary support through the likes of the excise duty, the increased subsidies for public transport, and this time-limited cost of living payment. That is less inflationary than longer-term tax cuts.
