motion: <p class="" pid="b.240.2/1" pwmotiontext="yes">I beg to move,</p>
  
  <p class="" pid="b.240.2/2" pwmotiontext="yes">That this House believes that people should be given support and incentives to find employment and stay in employment; notes that, at a time when the recovery is still fragile for many, the impact of a significant reduction in in-work tax credits could increase hardship and undermine the importance of making work pay; believes that any meaningful effort to address the real causes of high welfare costs should tackle the underlying drivers of low pay, housing costs and insecure working conditions; further notes that the threat of a &#163;5 billion reduction in child tax credits would see 3.7 million working families lose an average of &#163;1,400 a year in income; and urges the Chancellor to guarantee that any assistance in the July 2015 Budget is focused solely on people on middle and low incomes.</p>
