Clause 38 - Persons subject to immigration control
Tax Credits Bill
4:30 pm
Mr Howard Flight (Arundel and South Downs, Conservative)
This is an important amendment. I raised the same subject when we focused on European Union nationals. Other than EU nationals, some 600,000 people from the Commonwealth and other parts of the world have the right to work here. I also asked about it on Second Reading, and the Paymaster General still has not yet clarified the right or otherwise of such people to qualify for tax credits under clause 38. I hope that she will now do so.
