Proceeding contribution from David Gauke (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 22 March 2007. It occurred during Budget debate on Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation.
Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation
If the hon. Lady is asking whether I think that the tax and benefits system—it is important to add the ““benefits”” part—can contribute to keeping couples together, the answer is yes. To be honest, I suspect that the issue is more to do with the carrot of favourable tax arrangements than the stick of unfavourable arrangements, and that is more beneficial for lone parents. That is an important point.
