YOU WONT BELIEVE: Hmrc scheme that wrongly cut child benefits did not adequately consider impact report finds - You Need To See This

The report by the National Audit Office followed HMRC’s decision to suspend payments after flight records provided by the Home Office purportedly showed thousands of parents had emigrated.
