Jeremy Hunt has said he accepts there is an “unfairness” in the child benefits system, after being quizzed ahead of his spring Budget in March.
Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis questioned the chancellor over the much-criticised high-income child benefit tax charge during an interview on his programme on Tuesday evening.
