Proceeding contribution from Jane Ellison (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 17 February 2011. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Social Security.


Social Security

We are weeks away from the point when the Opposition, had they won the election, would have commenced their own deficit reduction plan. Given the enormous sum that the welfare bill represents within the public finances, it is inconceivable that the right hon. Gentleman could intend to go through this debate without addressing some serious long-term issues regarding his own policy on deficit reduction.
