Proceeding contribution from David Laws (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 2 March 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Lone Parent Employment.

Lone Parent Employment

: Is not the Minister underestimating the contrast between her policies and those of the United States of America? Given what the Government have done on tax credits—the working tax credit, child tax credit and child care tax credit—is there any reason to think that the problems that have arisen in the United States because of the work sanction would arise in the United Kingdom? Surely the Minister underestimates the Government's achievements.
