HC Deb 11 March 2002 vol 381 c696W
Mr. Cousins

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer for which benefits he proposes the proposed pension credit and the general employment credit to be a passport. [41595]

Dawn Primarolo

The benefits passported from tax credits or social security benefits are the responsibility of the Departments that administer them, and it is they who set the rules for entitlement.

The Treasury continues to discuss with the relevant Departments the effect of the new tax credits on the populations currently entitled to various passported benefits.
