Proceeding contribution from Lord Hutton of Furness (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 January 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Welfare Reform Green Paper.
Welfare Reform Green Paper
I can only assume that the hon. Gentleman has not read the Green Paper, because we are not cutting incapacity benefit for existing claimants. We will introduce a more generous employment and support allowance in 2008, and we are providing more help and support for his constituents. I am utterly astonished that he has not had the good grace to recognise that today.
