Proceeding contribution from David Drew (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 November 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

Like me, my parliamentary neighbour has had the opportunity to talk to new deal organisers, and it is refreshing to listen to their stories of lone parents who had no education, but who have taken up the opportunities that the Government have offered. I do not understand why the Government do not see that as a great success and continue to invest in that programme, rather than looking at the stick.
