Proceeding contribution from Yvette Cooper (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 July 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Child Poverty Bill.
Child Poverty Bill
We have to do everything that we can to increase the take-up of benefits. The hon. Gentleman is right—more can be done, particularly with things such as housing benefit and council tax benefit. As part of the reforms to housing benefit, we have been considering what more we can do to help those who are in work and who may be entitled to housing benefit. It may also help to make it pay for people to go back into work.
