CORRECTION: This article has been changed since it was first published. Claire Carey has been in touch to say: “The question posed at PMQs was ‘How is changing the threshold of entitlement to tax credits going to help hard working people or families?’ I have not stated - as the article originally suggested - that I think I personally am entitled to work part time nor do I expect other families to pay for me. We also have hard earned taxes to pay. Our income will in fact decrease by £2,500. I calculated this personally rather than using a general average. Contrary to what the article originally suggested, I did not opt to have five children to ‘delay the day’ when I could work full time. I have worked full time and part time in opposite shifts to my husband so avoiding the need to pay for childcare.”
