Proceeding contribution from Lord Hain (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 June 2010. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Legislative Programme and Budget Statement (Wales).
Legislative Programme and Budget Statement (Wales)
There are still 100,000 more jobs in Wales than when we came to power in 1997. Those jobs will be under attack as a result of this Tory Government. That is not where Wales needs to be. That is no future for my three Welsh-born grandchildren; nor is it any future for the 240,000 Welsh men and women on disability living allowance who now face cuts. Now the Tories, with the help of the Liberals, plan to punish hundreds of thousands of people in Wales on incapacity benefit and other benefits. We had a benefits regime that was tough but fair; they are pledged to one that is punitive and unfair.
