Proceeding contribution from Philip Hollobone (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 June 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Deprivation/Child Poverty.
Deprivation/Child Poverty
My hon. Friend made the point earlier that the ““better off in work”” calculation should be simple. Should it not be as simple as possible? Almost from the first step, when getting on or off benefits, it should be a question of one, two or three presses of a button to do the calculation. If we can make the process really simple—almost from the first calculation that is done—it would encourage people to say with confidence, ““I would be better off in work and off benefits.””
