Welfare Cap

Debate between Ian Lavery and Natascha Engel

Wednesday 16th December 2015 Commons Chamber

[Ian Lavery]

The Chancellor stood up and said that he was proud to have these targets set in stone. He tried to set a trap for the Labour party on this issue, but he wanted the benefits cap set in stone. The Minister is now explaining that, for the next two or three years, there is no chance of meeting those targets. Please tell us that you are slightly embarrassed or concerned.

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Natascha Engel)]

Order. I am not embarrassed or concerned. The Minister might be, but I am not.
