Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Greg Hands and William Wragg

Tuesday 21st July 2015 Commons Chamber

[Greg Hands]

I thank the hon. Lady for her question. Our welfare reforms are based on the principle of fairness; fair on those who receive the benefits and fair on those who pay the tax. With regard to a specific group, there is clearly a difference between the work-related activity group and the support group, and we are happy to look at those differences. She is clearly not satisfied with what we are doing, but she is also one of the 48 Labour Members who rebelled last night on welfare, so I do not think that she is satisfied with her Front Benchers’ position either.

[William Wragg (Hazel Grove) (Con)]
