Proceeding contribution from Caroline Lucas (Green Party) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 28 October 2010. It occurred during Debate on Comprehensive Spending Review.


Comprehensive Spending Review

Does the Chief Secretary accept that he is introducing a benefit system based on punishment? Does he agree that anyone out of work for more than a year will now lose 10% of their housing benefit? That is punishment. What advice would he give to my constituent in Brighton who has gone for 465 jobs over the past 10 months without success?
