Proceeding contribution from Stephen Timms (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 February 2006. It occurred during Legislative debate on Social Security.
Social Security
I apologise to my hon. Friend; I will not give way again. Our uprating measures maintain our commitment and continue our progress towards a fair and inclusive society of opportunity and independence for all. They support our programme of radical reform, balancing rights with responsibilities and offering everyone the opportunity to build a decent income in retirement. They also represent another big step away from the legacy of pernicious poverty that we inherited, and that we are determined should never return. I commend the orders to the House.
