Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Hunt (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 February 2006. It occurred during Legislative debate on Social Security.
Social Security
Does the hon. Gentleman agree that although money is an important element of the eradication of poverty—an aim that is shared throughout the House—we must also consider the need for a simpler system that does not remove incentives to work? Does he also agree that while the Government may have increased funding for poverty eradication programmes, they have not succeeded in introducing policies that would make the system simple enough to understand, while retaining incentives for people to return to work if they are able to do so?
