Proceeding contribution from Sheila Gilmore (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 1 February 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.
Welfare Reform Bill
I stood up to say that we cannot simply go to the population in the way suggested. When I was out on Sunday, one of my constituents said to me, ““Yes, £26,000 seems a lot of money””, but when I asked her what she thought about so much money going in rents to landlords, she immediately changed her mind. We cannot create policy by giving people insufficient information.
