Proceeding contribution from Lord Field of Birkenhead (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 6 December 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Benefits Uprating.
Benefits Uprating
Is it not true that the Minister's partial statement today will in the next couple of years result in decreasing the incentive to work? If the Treasury believed in localism and had given the £6.6 billion to the Department to spend on uprating as it wished to, would not the Minister have made a statement today that increased work incentives rather than decreased them?
