Work and Families Bill

Proceeding contribution from Alan Johnson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 December 2005. It occurred during Debate on bills on Work and Families Bill.
I accept that Opposition Members have not had time to absorb the figures but does the right hon. Lady agree that, if direct payments cost the taxpayer £75 million for a saving to business of £1.1 million and only £400,000 to small businesses—those figures are the outcome of extensive discussions with businesses—it is not worth proceeding with the idea?
