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


Welfare Reform Bill

I am reluctant to intervene on the hon. Gentleman, given his expertise on the subject, but does he not agree, with his undoubted knowledge of the issues, that it would have been faintly ludicrous to reform something as complex as the British benefit system in one fell swoop?
