Proceeding contribution from Lord Harper (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 5 December 2007. It occurred during Estimates day on Benefits Simplification.
Benefits Simplification
I thank the Chairman of the Select Committee for the opportunity to say what I was just coming on to in my remarks. The source of the funding for that promise will come out of our reforms to the welfare system and our getting more people back to work. One of the first calls on those resources will be removing the couples penalty.
