uin	HL3308
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2017 answer text <p>The government’s policy is to provide support to a maximum of two children in tax credits to ensure that those who receive income related benefits face the same financial choices as those supporting themselves solely through work. The government acknowledges the immense value of care given by non-parental carers. The government has therefore included an exception to this policy for third and subsequent children taken on through kinship care arrangements, recognising that people taking on additional children in this way are not able to make the same choices about the number of children in their family.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 27/11/2017 15:10:02 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
