§ Mr. WebbTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what assumptions about take-up of(a) the Children's Tax Credit and (b) the Working Families Tax Credit under Chart 5.2 in his pre-Budget report. [147810]
§ Dawn PrimaroloChart 5.2 of the November 2000 pre-Budget report shows the impact of children's tax and benefit measures introduced over this Parliament on families. The figures are calculated by comparing the situation after the implementation of the Working Families Tax Credit, Children's Tax Credit, and increases to Child Benefit and income-related benefits with what would have happened if these policy interventions had not taken place.
These figures are consistent with published PBR estimates that 5 million families will benefit from the introduction of the Children's Tax Credit and that up to 1.4 million families will benefit from the Working Families Tax Credit.
