Welfare Benefits Up-rating Bill

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

Does the hon. Gentleman agree that the individuals receiving those types of benefit do not save the money, but spend it in their local communities? In areas of high unemployment, such as parts of my and his constituencies, it will have a knock-on effect on the local economy.
