Welfare Reform and Work Bill

Proceeding contribution from Stephen Timms (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 July 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Welfare Reform and Work Bill.

I fear that the hon. Gentleman did not understand the Budget. According to the Institute for Fiscal Studies, the Budget reduced the income of 3 million working families by over £1,000 a year on average, and in many cases it lessens the incentive for the first person in a household to go into work. He need only read the very clear analysis of that point by the IFS.
