Proceeding contribution from Glenda Jackson (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 absolutely agree with my right hon. Friend, but is there not a further black hole in the Government's proposals, which is the failure to acknowledge regional variations? The cost of child care in London, for example, is massively higher than it might be in another metropolitan area of the country. The Bill reflects that lack of definition and flexibility and a complete ignoring of regional variations.
