Proceeding contribution from Charlie Elphicke (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 13 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill (Programme) (No. 2).
Welfare Reform Bill (Programme) (No. 2)
I agree. In fact, let me use the words of the Leader of the Opposition, who said:"““Finally we will never encourage a sense of responsibility if society is becoming more and more unfair, and more and more divided.””" We know that Labour divided our country more between the rich and the poor when it was in office, and we know that giving people who have £50,000 in the bank out-of-work benefits would be deeply unfair to the ordinary working person in the street.
