Finance Bill

Proceeding contribution from Mary Creagh (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 20 July 2010. It occurred during Debate on bills on Finance Bill.
I thank the hon. Gentleman for that clarification. I now want to discuss the child trust fund, which is also being cut. When I visited Greenhill school in my constituency to talk about financial education, I asked 10 and 11-year-olds how much money they had saved up in their bank accounts and the answers given by those little 10-year-olds ranged from £50 to £80; that was their life savings. But those children knew that their little brothers and sisters had got £250, and in some cases £500, from the Government through the child trust fund.
