Proceeding contribution from Baroness May of Maidenhead (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 May 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Equality Bill.


Equality Bill

I am happy to mention one policy of ours that would tackle that issue: it is to change the working tax credit arrangements to get rid of the couples penalty. That policy would lift 300,000 children out of poverty, and I commend it to the hon. Gentleman.
