Proceeding contribution from Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 15 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.
Welfare Reform Bill
The hon. Lady has clearly outlined the issues in relation to the qualifying period. Is she aware, as many in the House are, that for people in poor health, it is a time of stress and anxiety? The Government are talking about increasing the qualifying period when people are under the most pressure regarding their health, so putting them under additional, financial pressure. Does she feel that such financial pressure will impact on people's health at a time when they need less pressure and more help?
