Proceeding contribution from Graham Stuart (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 February 2006. It occurred during Legislative debate on Social Security.


Social Security

I wonder how the hon. Gentleman reconciles the remarks that he has just made about means-testing with the Chancellor’s remark, made when the Labour party was in opposition, that he wanted a significant diminution in the use of means-testing in the British welfare system. Is that an aspiration that has entirely left the Labour party and its Members of Parliament?
