Welfare Benefits Up-rating Bill

Proceeding contribution from Russell Brown (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 8 January 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Welfare Benefits Up-rating Bill.

I thank the hon. Lady very much for giving way. I have sat for three or four minutes listening to her and I have never in my life agreed with her more. She is right about the language of the debate and about the percentages—it is monetary value that is important.

Can the hon. Lady explain to me in any way how the removal of the best part of £6 billion from the economy in the next two to three years will stimulate the economy? How many jobs will it create, if any at all?
