Thank you. I think it’s important that we take this debate seriously, because we’ve seen on Westminster benches previously when people have taken this too lightly, and it doesn’t go down well with the public. It doesn’t go down well with the public if people see people laughing in the Chamber.

The point that I wanted to make to Mark Isherwood is that this was set up by Iain Duncan Smith, who actually then admitted that their own policies were wrong with regard to the benefits system. So, how can we take that think tank seriously?
