PM: Lords shouldn't try to block tax credits planpublished at 12:30
Conservative Jacob Rees Mogg asks whether the PM shares his concern that if the Lords were to block working tax credits "it would be a serious challenge to the privilege of this House". It would entitle the PM to review whether to appoint more Conservative peers to ensure government legislation is passed, he adds.
He makes an "important point", responds David Cameron. He says the 1911 Parliament Act means the Commons alone decides on financial matters - noting that MPs have twice approved the tax credits cuts. "The House of Lords should listen to that very carefully," he cautions.
