Welfare Reform Green Paper

This Green Paper has the very general title of ““A new deal for welfare””, so why does it not tackle the main feature of the Government’s welfare policies in the past eight years, which is the vast extension of means-testing? Does the Secretary of State agree that the means-tested society that we have created is not only incredibly bureaucratic, but creates severe disincentives to long-term saving and self-reliance? When is he going to reform that aspect of his policies?
