Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if she will establish a review of the adequacy of the current levels of incapacity benefit. [859]

Mr. Denham

As part of the Government's aim of creating a modern welfare system we will seek to ensure that people who are too sick to work are provided with appropriate support. We also wish to do more to enable those who are able and wish to get back into work to do so.
