Welfare Reform and Work Act

Proceeding contribution from Rachel Maclean (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 21 March 2018. It occurred during Debate on Welfare Reform and Work Act.

My hon. Friend is making an excellent speech. Does he recognise that well over half a million fewer children are living in workless households now than in 2010? Children are five times more likely to be in a low-income household if they are in a workless household than if they are in a household in which all adults work. There is a knock-on effect for the next generation.
