  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  The majority of MPs voted against the motion, which read:[1]
  
  **This House 
  * ''recognises'' the recent increases in food and fuel costs combined with the abolition of the 10 pence tax band, and the effect these are having on the most disadvantaged in society; and 
  * ''calls'' for a review of all mechanisms, including the use of extra revenue raised through increased crude oil prices, winter fuel payments and family tax credits, to assist those on lower and medium incomes.
  
  An alternative motion was substituted in its place in the next division.[2]
