Proceeding contribution from Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 November 2011. It occurred during Opposition day on Living Standards.


Living Standards

Clearly, the changes in working tax credit and child tax credit will also affect people, and those who are not on the poverty line but are close to it will be pushed towards it. Does the hon. Gentleman believe that the Government's changes in working tax credit and child tax credit will have a harsh impact on those people who can least afford it?
