Proceeding contribution from Anne Begg (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 15 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.


Welfare Reform Bill

I appreciate that the hon. Lady is trying to get the Government off the hook by supporting this review, but the original proposal came forward in the coalition Government's first Budget—almost a year ago. Is she not as surprised as I am—if not shocked—that the work that she now advocates was not done before the proposal was made in the first place?
