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


Tax Credits

The hon. Gentleman’s criticism that I have been complacent is not correct. This afternoon, I have provided a catalogue of actions that I have taken over some time, and I have continued to acknowledge that the system contains some problems. The hon. Gentleman should address the complacency of the previous Government in allowing child poverty to rise and the apparent complacency of the current Conservative party in not willing the means needed to tackle and eradicate child poverty.
