Proceeding contribution from Adam Afriyie (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 February 2007. It occurred during Legislative debate on Social Security.
Social Security
My hon. Friend might like to know that at a recent lunch at the Age Concern office in my constituency, I asked the 20 to 30 elderly people there whether they were taking up their full benefits, and not one of them said that they were. When I asked why, they said that the system was too complicated and involved too much of an intrusion.
