Proceeding contribution from Angela Eagle (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 10 December 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Benefits Uprating.

Benefits Uprating

I agree wholeheartedly with my hon. Friend's comments. My right hon. Friend the Chancellor was very clear in his approach to the pre-Budget report, of which this uprating statement is a very important part. He believes that those with the broadest shoulders should bear the greatest burden of the challenges that face us in the economy at the moment. This uprating statement proves that he has delivered that in action.
