Proceeding contribution from David Gauke (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 March 2012. It occurred during Opposition day on Living Standards.
Living Standards
I come back to the point I made previously. With the difficult financial situation we inherited, we needed to take steps, and one of them was to increase the threshold for a couple from 16 to 24 hours. That seems perfectly reasonable and fair in the context of a 16-hour requirement for lone parents.
