Interview on BBC Radio 4 : Benefits Reform
Yesterday, I spoke to The World At One about why benefits reform is so urgent in Britain today. You can listen to the recording above.
As I said on the programme, people want to work, and to climb the ladder of opportunity. But the Government has to make sure that work pays. That's why reform is so important.

I totally agree that benefit reform is urgently needed. It is very sad to see a lost generation spending so much of their time without any focus in their lives, low self esteem and no planning for their future. Benefit payments need to be there as an emergency measure not seen as a right, not seen to encourage 'no work ethos'. I must also add that I blame the last Labour government for this total reliance on benfits. Let support generation back into work, give them a future & improve their self esteem. Patsy
