Short Time Working And Tax Credits

EDM number 1190 in 2008-09, proposed by Mike Weir on 25/03/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Working age benefits.

That this House notes that many firms have introduced short time working for employees during this time of recession; further notes that many workers who are in receipt of tax credits are facing difficulties as the reduction in hours takes them below the minimum hours required to qualify for tax credits; and calls on the Government to take action to ensure that those who are so affected are deemed to still be working for the minimum hours and that their tax credits are maintained until such time as their hours are reinstated.

This motion has been signed by a total of 47 MPs.
