Mr. Ottaway: We tabled the new clause not for those reasons, but because of the deception being practised on the people of this country when the Government say that the children's tax credit replaces the married couples allowance. It does not replace that allowance, and millions of people will not receive it. Many will suffer financial loss as a result of the Government's proposals.
For the Minister to say that the poorest people in our society are getting the entire benefit of the children's tax credit is plain misleading. Housing and council tax benefit have to be taken into account. The poorest people in our society will not get the funding that she says they will get. That is why we want to divide the House.
Question put, That the clause be read a Second time:--
The House divided: Ayes 157, Noes 289.
