She shakes her head, but that is what it would be. A low-cost loan is a very attractive proposition. Anyone with a lot of financial savvy and a lot of money in the bank would go for it. Why on earth should  hard-working people on relatively low incomes help to subsidise the cost of giving low-cost loans to millionaires? I simply do not understand where Labour is on that, and I find its whole argument deeply frustrating.

Clause

A parliamentary bill is divided into sections called clauses.

Printed in the margin next to each clause is a brief explanatory `side-note' giving details of what the effect of the clause will be.

During the committee stage of a bill, MPs examine these clauses in detail and may introduce new clauses of their own or table amendments to the existing clauses.

When a bill becomes an Act of Parliament, clauses become known as sections.
