Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what specific benefits are covered by the proposed safeguard mechanism set out in paragraph 2(b) of Section D of the draft Decision of the European Council published on 2 February; in particular, whether (1) Child Tax Credit, (2) Working Tax Credit, and (3) Housing Credit will be included in the proposed restrictions on access to in-work benefits.
This question was answered on 22nd February 2016
Details of the proposals for restricting in-work benefits for EU nationals will be subject to further negotiation and we cannot speculate on these.
