Proceeding contribution from Danny Alexander (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 5 December 2007. It occurred during Estimates day on Benefits Simplification.

Benefits Simplification

Will the hon. Gentleman list what the reforms are? He referred to the right hon. Member for Chingford and Woodford Green (Mr. Duncan Smith), but it is interesting to note that not a single reform to the benefit system was included in his 600-page social justice commission report. It concluded at the end that the issue should be handed over to another commission. Ideas seem to be thin on the ground, unless the hon. Gentleman is going to mention one or two more.
