Proceeding contribution from John Butterfill (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 21 February 2008. It occurred during Legislative debate on Social Security.
Social Security
I shall not give way to the Minister—he can reply when he winds up shortly—because many of my hon. Friends also wish to speak. It is bizarre that those who are most in need, who have lost their jobs or have not been able to get jobs, are subject to the lowest index. The Government have deliberately muddied the water with a plethora of indices designed to mislead the general public at a time when they need better and clearer information.
