Full Employment and Welfare Benefits Bill
This bill, as the name would suggest, is designed to achieve full employment "and provide more people with the security of a job". The aim is for two million more jobs and three million new apprenticeships to be created. Ministers will be required to report annually to Parliament on their progress.
The legislation will also implement a planned reduction in the welfare cap - from £26,000 to £23,000, and freeze working-age benefits, tax credit and child benefit for two years. As part of the government's welfare reforms, young people will be required to "earn or learn", with automatic entitlement to housing benefit for 18-21-year-olds scrapped.
What actually constitutes a job is worrying? Full employment = Slave Labour. The only other way to create jobs we can think of is via more public spending?
