Child Tax Credit (Hansard, 15 March 2004)

HC Deb 15 March 2004 vol 419 c96W 96W

§ Mr. Webb
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what correspondence his Department has sent to families relating to the transfer of the child elements of Jobseeker's Allowance and Income Support to Child Tax Credit payments; and if he will place copies in the Library. [159703]

§ Dawn Primarolo
The Inland Revenue has not entered into general correspondence with families about the transfer from child allowances in Income Support and income-based Jobseekers Allowance to Child Tax Credit. I understand however that my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions has written to all IS/JSA (IB) families to notify them of the change. A copy has been placed in the Library of the House.
