Proceeding contribution from Anne McGuire (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 10 December 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Welfare Reform.
Welfare Reform
I welcome my right hon. Friend's statement and ask him to recognise that some of the fears that individuals and organisations are expressing are founded on their experience during the '80s and '90s when, along with colleagues such as my hon. Friend the Member for Glasgow, South-West (Mr. Davidson), we had to manage training programmes that were little about support or individuality. During the consultation on the White Paper, will he recognise those fears and emphasise that conditionality is about investment in people, not benefit cuts?
