David Cameron under pressure to “Introduce a tax break for married couples”

Anti-mums: The new Budget is 'undermining the family,' according to Mothers at Home Matter's Laura Perrins
 
Stay at home mothers have accused the Government of forcing them to abandon their children and return to work.
 
The attack comes as David Cameron faces a fresh headache with his own MPs threatening to derail Budget legislation unless he introduces a tax break for married couples.
 
Pressure group Mothers at Home Matter warned ministers that their policies on childcare and tax are ‘misguided’ and risk the ‘cohesion of society’ by undermining the family.
 
Spokesman Laura Perrins, who recently confronted Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg on his radio phone-in, said: ‘This Budget is a misguided attempt to force mothers to leave their children and return to work.
 
‘Survey after survey reveals that many women who work full-time would prefer to reduce  their hours. Nothing in this Budget helps women to do this,’ she said.
