Proceeding contribution from Jim Cunningham (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 22 June 2005. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Tax Credits.


Tax Credits

I welcome my right hon. Friend’s statement, particularly the part about the hardship test. Very often, regardless of who is at fault, when families suddenly find they have a debt of £1,000 or £2,000, it can seem like the end of the world. For the record, any time I have raised an issue with my right hon. Friend regarding tax credits, she has dealt with it on a personal basis. For the Opposition to attack her integrity today is nothing short of disgusting. The Opposition mentioned the Child Support Agency. Who created that shambles, which we are still dealing with today?
