Welfare Reform and Work Bill

Proceeding contribution from Wes Streeting (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 23 February 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Welfare Reform and Work Bill.

I am grateful and surprised that the Minister has given way. I am sure the Prime Minister is delighted to see her back on message today, as she has not been in the past few days. She talks about the measures in the Bill. How can she go against the advice of her own Government’s commission when it says that

“it is not credible to try to improve the life chances of the poor without acknowledging the most obvious symptom of poverty, lack of money.”

When is she going to listen to the Government’s own advisers?
