Answer me or indeed many others. Can i put you in a question i was sent by [shouting] mr. Speaker, at may be very amusing to members opposite, but [shouting] i was sent this question by karen, and she, i quote, what is the Prime Minister punishing working families . I work fulltime and earns a living wage within the public sector. That tax credit cuts will push me and my family into hardship. Can he give a castiron guarantee, to karen come and to all the other families who are very worried what is going to happen next april to the income, how are they going to make ends meet . He could give them the after today. I hope you will. I ask them for the sixth time, please give us an answer to a very straightforward, very simple question. What i would say to karen is this. If she is on the living wage working in the public sector, next year in april she will benefit from been able to earn 11,000 pounds before she pays any income tax at all. It was about 6000 pounds when i became Prime Ministe
Ever. Pfizer and allergan coming together in a 160 billion plus deal and shares of both companies are moving down. Allergan the single most favored stock owned by hedge funds. Its up 20 this year. What are the other names the smau socalled mart money likes right now . The smart money moniker depends on performance but in any case allergan was number one according to the quarterly roster that Goldman Sachs puts out based on quarterly filings followed in short order by big gainers like facebook and alphabet and amazon up 37 , 47 , and 127 respectively. It was a period in which hedge funds increased their net exposure to the tech sector to nearly 18 and cut their exposure to health care marginally according to goldman basing their findings on a sample of over 800 fundamentally driven stock funds.

Paris. They did not discover any weapons or Salah Abdeslam, he is the main suspect, probably the most wanted map man in europe now, investigators did discover, an explosive vest that was dumped in a trash can south of the city center in a Community Called mont rouge. We told it contained the same bolts as those used in the stadium the stade de france that was attacked. The theory, is that perhaps, Salah Abdeslam decided not to go ahead with a target he had been assigned. He ended up driving through paris, through down to mont mont rouge, where he dumped his belt into trash can be called his friends in belgium who came, picked him up took him back to brussels. There is a lot of nightclubs up there it would have been a nice soft target for the terrorists, but, at least the theory goes, he decided not to go through with it bottom line they cannot find him. They believe he could be in germany. But, they really at this hour have no clue. Deirdre Ashley Webster thank you so much joining us l
White house as to what of going on with say this report. Youre not aware of what took place there . So in terms of the ig report, i have no idea what, if anything, was reported to the white house. The visit that i had with mr. Wuerffel was to give his 30day report to the president. Again, what your activity was reported to wuerffel where you were in the investigation and compiling for congress, you werent aware of it being transmitted beyond him . No. Okay. Thank you. We now go to the gentlelady from new york. Miss maloney. Thank you. I regret i was not able to join you last night for the hearing.

I just wanted to make a brief statement about the hearing that we had last night on the overall irs and this whole irs mess seems to flow directly from confusion over just how the irs should enforce a law that was passed by this congress that gives tax exempt stat
One thing that we are seeing in terms of the 72hour detention. Some of the folks have been taken to buses so they can be sent to the other facilities. But the numbers are so overwhelming that the bus stations are closing because theres not enough buses. Some of the local nonprofits are having to take care of some of those families. My question is, what federal Grant Programs are there that we can tap into on an urgent basis so these nonprofits working alongside cbp and dhs down there can work with . I know we had a terrific volunteer effort. I know the red cross has really stepped up as well as a number of texasbased volunteer organizations have done a heroic job. In terms of grant making, id have to take a closer look at that to see what might be available. Perhaps administrator fugate has thoughts. Id have a take a closer look at it. We can work with your offi. C. E. On those few points. I want to thank you, mr. Vitiello and agents at border customs and patrol. I have witnessed first
