Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Emily Thornberry (Labour). It was answered on Thursday, 12 July 2007 on behalf of the Treasury.
Disposable Household Income
- Question
- I welcome my hon. Friend to her new post; her promotion is as welcome as it is overdue. Labour Members put the interests of children first, and children of the poorest families are our highest priority. With that in mind, will my hon. Friend tell me what proportion of low-income families with children have taken up tax credits?
- Answer
-
My understanding is that the take-up of tax credits by low-income families with children is very high—the proportion is in the high 90 per cent. range. I thank my hon. Friend for her generous welcome to me.
