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


Welfare Reform Bill

The hon. Gentleman is making a considered and well informed speech, but he refers to that idea as a canard. The canard actually comes from the Government's own consultation paper, the back of which refers to charging interest on social fund recipients. It sets out the impact of that and how social fund recipients would end up paying more under the Government's proposals.
