Social Welfare Bill, 2002: Second Stage.

 

The Government has certainly indicated its support for the less well-off, especially in the context of the funding available and the priorities I have outlined. I have copper-fastened the social welfare increases that were made in recent years. If one examines the figures, one will see that my Department's budget package is between twice and three times the size of the taxation package, reflecting the fact that we have targeted the less well-off.
