Welfare Tax Credits: Complaints

Volume 472: debated on Wednesday 20 February 2008

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) how many written complaints have been made to the tax credit hotline by people in (a) Jarrow constituency, (b) South Tyneside, (c) the North East and (d) the UK in each year since the inception of the service; (184907)

(2) how many telephone complaints have been made to the tax credit hotline by people in (a) Jarrow constituency, (b) South Tyneside, (c) the North East and (d) the UK in each year since the inception of the service.

The information is not available in the format requested. However, I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer I gave the hon. Member for Fareham (Mr. Hoban) on 31 January 2008, Official Report, column 682W, regarding the total number of complaints received by the Tax Credits Helpline.
