Business question from Glenda Jackson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 1 July 2010. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

May we have an urgent debate in Government time on the Chancellor's grossly disproportionate attack on the benefits system, not least on housing benefit, which is causing grave anxiety and disquiet among some of my most vulnerable constituents? These feelings are exacerbated by the Government's attempt to present all benefit claimants as workshy scroungers. May we have a debate urgently so that this particular calumny can be disproved?
