Proceeding contribution from Iain Duncan Smith (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 October 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Welfare Reform.
Welfare Reform
Yes, I agree. That is exactly the point of all the changes that we are making, and the Under-Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, my hon. Friend the Member for Basingstoke (Maria Miller) is bound with that to review all that we do for disabled people in order to ensure that we do not write them off at any stage but give them an opportunity to go to work, if they can. We will absolutely support those who are not able to go to work. It is their right, and we will ensure that that is the case.
