On the levels themselves, we recognise that there are challenges, and different benefits do different things and have therefore always been uprated in different ways. We probably do not have time to go into that, but I take the broader points that have been made. On the question of work, the Government are absolutely committed to providing financial support for those in low-paid work, those who are looking for work and those who cannot work, but we also know that reducing economic inactivity and increasing the number of people in work is crucial to their best interests, and to growing the economy. That is why this Government’s Get Britain Working White Paper outlines the biggest employment reforms in a generation, backed by £240 million of investment.
