Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hodge of Barking (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 2 March 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Lone Parent Employment.


Lone Parent Employment

: I simply pose a question back to the hon. Gentleman, in his role as the Liberal Democrat spokesman. Is my understanding correct that if he held my position he would propose a massive increase in JSA to bring it into line with current levels of incapacity benefit, with additions beyond that for people with ill health and disabilities? If he is proposing such an increase, how would he fund it?
