Productivity

Proceeding contribution from James Cartlidge (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 17 June 2015. It occurred during Opposition day on Productivity.

My hon. Friend makes a brilliant point about tax credits. As a small business owner, I was shocked to receive a call from one of my staff saying that they did not want the pay rise I had just emailed them about because they would lose so much in tax credits. Is this not a crazy dependency culture that is holding back productivity?
