Business of the House

Business question from Lord Austin of Dudley (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 3 March 2011. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
May we have an urgent debate on the welfare benefits system? Ordinary decent people in Dudley and elsewhere will have been shocked to discover this morning that while they are having to work harder, pay more tax, receive poorer services and, in some cases, lose child benefit and tax credits, hundreds of thousands of east European migrants will be able to claim hundreds of pounds a week—millions in total—because the Government are not going to review safeguards introduced by the previous Government.
