Proceeding contribution from Lynne Jones (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.
Welfare Reform Bill
No, I do not envisage that, because I believe that it is fundamentally wrong to discriminate against young people. Unfortunately, the new clause would not uprate general unemployment benefit. The principles are that discrimination should end and that no one should be expected to live on such a meagre amount of benefit.
