Proceeding contribution from Anne Begg (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 February 2006. It occurred during Legislative debate on Social Security.
Social Security
The Conservatives constantly criticise means-testing and targeting, both of which effectively give more money to those who are poor. How on earth can any political party say that it is going to end poverty if it is also going to abolish means-testing?
