Business question from Wayne David (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

I am told that the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions informed a Select Committee yesterday that the announcement of a £4 billion cut in welfare spending was nothing to do with him. May we have a debate on who exactly is responsible for welfare spending and welfare reform? Is it the Chancellor of the Exchequer, or the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions?
