Tax Credits Bill

Mr James Clappison (Hertsmere, Conservative)
I am grateful to the Financial Secretary for giving way. Of course, we all know how important it is to take good care of public money. I want to give him a slight warning. He did not spell it out, but there was an implication that businesses had asked for the responsibility. The Government are placing the responsibility on businesses. By and large, that responsibility is unwanted by them, and is of no benefit.
