The Public Accounts Committee on Tax Credits revealed that of 47bn paid out in tax credits in the first three years of the system, 5.8bn was overpaid to claimants, often causing hardship to the low paid who were asked to repay money they had spent in good faith. The report criticised the system, saying there had not been an adequate response to the 'unacceptable levels of error and fraud'.

The campaign against smacking has gained another supporter as the Green Party has joined the Children are Unbeatable! Alliance to end corporal punishment of children in Britain. Emily McIvor, the party's children's issues spokeswoman, has taught children with emotional and behavioural difficulties. She called the current law on child protection, which dates back to 1860, 'unacceptable' and said that parents should not be prosecuted 'for trivial smacks'. She added, 'In the countries that have banned child punishment, all the evidence suggests that reform works. Parents use positive discipline methods, which reduces stress and improves the relationship between parents and children.'
