Proceeding contribution from Lord Freud (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 31 January 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.
Welfare Reform Bill
The figure that we have on the average amount is £8,800. There is a 5 per cent difference in the overall package for that family under universal credit. Those are the figures that we have worked out for the average. Taken overall, it is a small decline, and clearly there is a substantial incentive for the family to look at work. Work becomes much more attractive. Even a few hours of work under universal credit becomes attractive in a way that is completely impossible today.
