Welfare Cap

Debate between Marie Rimmer and Owen Smith

Wednesday 16th December 2015 Commons Chamber

[Marie Rimmer]

No, I want to carry on.

[Owen Smith]

Will my hon. Friend give way?

[Marie Rimmer]

Not at the moment. Hon. Members will hear what I have to say.

We need reforms that address the structural drivers of social security spending. We need good, secure employment; we need to get rid of zero-hours contracts and low pay; and we need to ensure an adequate supply of affordable homes.
