Proceeding contribution from Lord Giddens (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 23 October 2006. It occurred during Question for short debate on Tax Credits.
Tax Credits
My Lords, will the noble Lord clarify what he just said? I am not sure whether he is arguing against me or not. I was arguing that negative income taxes tend not to work because basically they are disincentives to work, whereas tax credit systems work much better. If they are fine-tuned properly, they help to get a lot more people into work.
