Proceeding contribution from Liam Byrne (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 March 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.


Welfare Reform Bill

I would do no more than encourage the hon. Gentleman to look at the analysis of his noble Friend Lord Freud, who examined our work to get people back to work and remarked on how fast the number of people on out-of-work benefit had fallen. He examined the number of children lifted out of poverty and said that our record was truly remarkable.
