Child Tax Credit

HC Deb 25 February 2003 vol 400 cc381-2W

Mr. Webb

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will estimate how many couples are ineligible for children's tax credit because the income of the highest earner is too high, but would be eligible for child tax credit because their joint income is below the upper limit. [94048]

[holding answer 28 January 2003]: Without FRS data for 2002–03 it is not possible to provide reliable estimates.
