Proceeding contribution from Peter Bone (Conservative) 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 listening to the hon. Gentleman's speech with interest, but does he not think that times have changed in the past 12 months? Unemployment in his constituency has risen by 94 per cent. in the past year, so we are talking about times that are different from what they were even 12 months ago.
