HC Deb 29 November 1999 vol 340 c52W
30. Mrs. Laing

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will make a statement on the effects of his reforms to the system of benefits for disabled people. [99097]

Mr. Bayley

We are modernising the welfare system to encourage work for those who can and provide security for those who cannot. Our reforms will help disabled people who want to work and ensure that extra support is given to those who need it most.
