Proceeding contribution from Baroness Lister of Burtersett (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 22 February 2023. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Tax Credits, Child Benefit and Guardian’s Allowance Up-rating Regulations 2023.


Tax Credits, Child Benefit and Guardian’s Allowance Up-rating Regulations 2023

I am grateful to the Minister for that. However, can I also point out that there may be other forms of support but, in terms of financial support for children, it is not just child benefit that has been cut in real terms? All financial support for children has been cut in real terms: tax credits, universal credit, whatever. The fact is that families with children have been disproportionately hit by austerity.
