I think it was £97 each from HMG or £40 at the nearest carboot sale.

Oh dear: Tax credit costs spiral 10-fold

BBC

The costs of administering the tax credit system have risen from £36.1m to £403m in four years, Treasury figures have revealed.

The statistics also show that 65.5m award notices have been issued in just over two years even though only six million households receive tax credits.

Ten-to-one seems to be the norm for New Labour cost-to-estimate ratios. (Remember the scottish parliament building?)

What was their estimate for ID cards?
