Four parents. The Minister of State is stretching it a wee bit there.

Consider the guidelines that are to be issued. The measure exists in the tax code at present. It is very clear and it is right that it is included because it protects parents who support children through normal duties and education. I welcome the closure of the loophole if it is for the purpose intended but I question how the individuals concerned could have a ruling in their favour if they received money to purchase a car. It does not make any sense. The exemption is for normal supports and education. I do not understand how those concerned could have fallen into this bracket.
