Finance Bill

Proceeding contribution from Edward Leigh (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 July 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Finance Bill.

With regard to the point about removing tax credits to families with more than two children, I want to establish a principle which I think is quite important. Perhaps I should declare an interest: I have six children. I apologise for that. I just want to establish that the Government are not following the sort of liberal line that there is an ideal family—that a family of two children is more worthy than one of one or three or four or five. The Government are not approaching the subject from that viewpoint, are they? We can at least establish that principle, can we not?
