Proceeding contribution from Liam Byrne (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 16 February 2011. It occurred during Opposition day on Youth Unemployment.
Youth Unemployment
Before I give way to the Minister, let me finish this point, as I want to put a question to him. As I said, the rise in the dole bill makes the deficit not easier, but harder, to pay down. Although the Chancellor likes to pretend that the welfare cuts are somehow hitting shirkers not workers, will the Minister confirm that once we factor out the lower uprating the truth is that more than half the cuts in welfare spending are hitting working families?
