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


Welfare Reform Bill

I agree with the hon. Gentleman on the need to change the system to ensure that people do not aspire to live on benefits, but is that not more about changing people's aspirations and their pathways to opportunity, rather than simply setting caps and putting difficulties in the way of those claiming benefit when they are in difficulty?
