Tax Credits Bill

Ms Dawn Primarolo (Paymaster General, HM Treasury; Bristol South, Labour)
The Opposition's approach to the Bill is confusing. They claim that they want a system that is secure and that reduces opportunities for negligent or fraudulent behaviour, but they would cut back the powers on, for example, our ability to deal with such behaviour with employers and to increase the powers against claimants.
