Clause 10
Welfare Reform Bill
9:30 am
Anne McGuire (Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Disabled People), Department for Work and Pensions; Stirling, Labour)
I thought that the hon. Gentleman was about to come some way towards meeting me on that point. I remind the Committee that, when we introduced pathways to work, his party voted against every single penny of investment that we wanted to put in to support those who are most severely disabled as well as those who are closer to the labour market. I am sorry that I have had to inject a little bit of edge into the discussion, but it is about time that we started to realise that we are all on the same track on this matter. The hon. Gentleman continues diversifying and putting disabled people into inappropriate categories. I appreciate that there are specific issues relating to the support group.
Mr. Huntrose—
