Proceeding contribution from Russell Brown (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 15 December 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Benefit Reform.


Benefit Reform

The future jobs fund has already delivered 144 jobs in my area, so I thank my right hon. Friend for her announcement today of additional support for 16 and 17-year-olds. The current economic climate demands that we support that vulnerable group of citizens, but does she agree that the Opposition's attempts to rewrite history simply add nothing to this important debate, as we have seen in the recent past with other elements of welfare reform?
