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


Welfare Reform Bill

The Secretary of State wishes to present the Bill as being about people who are workless or feckless, but hard-working taxpayers who suddenly fall ill and are unable to claim the personal independence payment for six months could well be excluded from benefits because they have been savers. Is that fair?
