No, I do not agree with that. The hon. Gentleman knows perfectly well that there were enhanced arrangements for people on income support and family credit which accounted in part for the £500 million. I remind him that the overall spending on families with children is higher now than it would have been had child benefit been regularly uprated since 1988. As we have been talking about the prosperity of families, I remind the Committee that the take-home pay of families on half the average wage has gone up by 29 per cent. under the present Government compared with 4.2 per cent. under Labour and that of the average family with two children has gone up by nearly 37 per cent. compared with a measly 0.6 per cent. under Labour. I think that families know where their best interests lie.
