Proceeding contribution from James Purnell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 February 2007. It occurred during Legislative debate on Social Security.
Social Security
I have reached the last page of my speech, Mr. Deputy Speaker, so there is not much that I can do to correct that, but I take your guidance. As I was saying, an active welfare state is crucial to provide people with opportunity and security. This year’s uprating statement continues the progress that has been made since 1997, and I commend it to the House.
