Proceeding contribution from James Purnell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 27 January 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.


Welfare Reform Bill

Unfortunately, on 7 December the right hon. Lady's predecessor said that he did not think that those measures would actually work. He did not know what his policy was and the right hon. Lady obviously does not. I am glad that she is going to change the position again. Two U-turns in one debate: we are getting somewhere, which we were not under her predecessor.
