Debate

Spring Statement

Contribution

My Lords, the Government have had difficulty in scoring the £1 billion that has been mentioned and predict that there will be 16,000 fewer jobs as a result of the welfare changes. How have the Government come to this huge sum, where is it going to help and how many people are predicted to be helped? The Government must know this before the OBR revert in September. If they do not, why not?
