Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they intend to increase family benefits and tax credits in line with the cost of living; and if so, when.
This question was answered on 23rd July 2019
As the Chancellor has made clear, the government has no intention of repeating the current freeze on working-age benefits, including family benefits and tax credits. From April next year, the government expect to resume increases to frozen benefits in line with CPI in the normal way.
