Proceeding contribution from Ed Balls (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 March 2012. It occurred during Opposition day on Living Standards.
Living Standards
Can the Minister explain to Members on both sides of the House why he thinks it fair for a family with a joint income of £84,000 to keep all their child benefit, while a one-earner family will lose all their child benefit if the husband or wife stays at home and their income is just £43,000?
