Proceeding contribution from Liam Byrne (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 November 2011. It occurred during Opposition day on Living Standards.
Living Standards
The Pensions Minister should reflect on the following point. When we add together the cuts to children's benefits and the cuts to families' working tax credits, the total is £20 billion over the course of this Parliament. That is twice the amount of money his party is taking off the country's bankers. Surely he would reflect on the wisdom of taking more off children and working parents than off bankers? I think he should reflect on that further.
