Proceeding contribution from David Laws (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 February 2007. It occurred during Legislative debate on Social Security.
Social Security
It sounds as though the work of the simplification unit is useful and is generally in a helpful direction, but surely it will not be able to deliver the fundamental overhaul of the existing benefit system that would really be necessary to achieve the type of massive simplification that Secretaries of State constantly talk about. Is not something more ambitious necessary?
