Paper [7/12] Welfare Reform
In June 2012, Prime Minister David Cameron gave a speech at Bluewater, in Kent. As he says in the text we’ve reproduced below:
The time has come to go back to first principles; to have a real national debate and ask some fundamental, searching questions about working-age welfare... they are questions that we as a country need to ask in a sensible national debate.
This Discussion Brief is our contribution to that debate. Instead of our usual format, we have given you the text of the Prime Minister’s speech, accompanied by a selection of the questions that he posed.
We hope you enjoy this slightly different format and our direct commission from the Prime Minister!
