Proceeding contribution from Jim Murphy (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 13 July 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Jobcentre Plus.
Jobcentre Plus
We do take such issues seriously, and I acknowledge the hon. Gentleman’s point. However, the situation now is a world away from the time when it was a matter of explicit Government policy to allow child poverty to become the highest in the European Union and incapacity benefit levels to treble, and when vast, grotesque unemployment rates were tolerated.
