Business question from Lord Jackson of Peterborough (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 7 January 2010. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
May we have a debate on benefit entitlement? We learnt yesterday that Anjem Choudary, the putative leader of Islam4UK which plans a despicable march through Wootton Bassett, is in receipt of £25,000 of benefits, compared with the average wage of our brave soldiers in Afghanistan of £17,000. My constituents do not understand that distorted sense of priorities in our benefit system. Does the Leader of the House agree that we need an urgent debate to talk about such issues?
