Proceeding contribution from Rachel Reeves (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 March 2012. It occurred during Opposition day on Living Standards.


Living Standards

My hon. Friend is absolutely right. The most by which someone affected by the changes to working tax credits could benefit from next month's increase is £125. That pales into insignificance compared with the £3,800, which is the amount by which these families will be worse off because of these changes.
