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


Welfare Reform

The Office for Budget Responsibility has projected a net increase of 700,000 EU migrant workers during this Parliament, and that point was confirmed by Treasury officials to the Treasury Committee. Does the Secretary of State agree—and as the previous Government found to their cost—that an employer is more likely to prefer a new, young EU migrant worker to someone who has been on benefits for 10 years?
