Proceeding contribution from Paul Rowen (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.


Welfare Reform Bill

Does the hon. Lady not accept that many of the amendments do not ignore such people, in that they propose to increase jobseeker's allowance, to give lone parents a choice or to run certain pilots? They would ensure that what works works, rather than going headlong down a route that might lead to our repeating what happened in the 1980s.
