asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many residents in the City of Manchester have been asked to repay overpayments related to working family tax credits. [HL2809]

Working family tax credits were replaced by child and working tax credits in April 2003.

Estimates of the numbers of families with tax credits awards, including information on over and underpayments by local authority, based on final family circumstances and incomes for 2003-04, 2004-05 and 2005-06, are available in the HMRC publication Child and Working Tax Credits Statistics. Finalised Annual Awards. Supplements on Payments in. Geographical Analysis for each relevant year. This is available on the HMRC website at www.hmrc.gov.uk/stats/personal-tax-credits/ cwtc-geog-stats.htm

These statistics are not produced separately for child tax credit and working tax credit.
