Proceeding contribution from Oliver Heald (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 October 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Welfare Reform.


Welfare Reform

For a generation, disability campaigners have pressed for more jobs for people with disabilities, yet the employment rate of those people has remained pitifully low. Does my right hon. Friend agree that what his pilots aim to achieve, taken with the universal credit, is a situation in which people with disabilities get a fair break and a chance of a job, and that if they have a fluctuating condition there is a benefit system that supports them?
