Department for Work and Pensions

Proceeding contribution from Huw Merriman (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 26 February 2019. It occurred during Estimates day on Department for Work and Pensions.

Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker.

It is notable that we can deliver rhetoric, shout and talk about the individual cases, which of course we should, but the statistics show that this Government

have got more people into work and are spending more money helping people on benefits. This Government have a record to be proud of, and I am only sorry that more of my colleagues are not willing to stand up and say so.
