Business question from Tom Harris (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 September 2010. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
That spinning noise, which can be heard faintly in the distance, is the sound of David Lloyd George's body spinning in its grave in response to the comment by the Deputy Prime Minister, as reported in this morning's edition of The Times, that the job of the state is no longer to"““compensate the poor for their predicament””." Will the Leader of the House invite, encourage and persuade the Deputy Prime Minister to lead a debate on that subject, specifically in order to allow Liberal Democrat MPs to show their full-throated support for this very peculiar redefinition of the word ““fairness””?
