the Member for South West Bedfordshire, representing the Church Commissioners
Answer from Hansard
The Minister for Social Security and Disability (Sir Stephen Timms)
The hon. Member is right to raise this issue; the current system does track too many people in financial inequality. We want disabled people to have chances in work, which others have always taken for granted. We will invest an additional £1 billion a year by the end of the decade in work, health and skills support.
