The Constitution is not a panacea for every blot upon the public welfare. Nor should this Court, ordained as a judicial body, be thought of as a general haven for reform movements. John Marshall Harlan
What we want to do is reform the welfare system in the way that Tony Blair talked about 13 years ago but never achieved - a system that was created for the days after the Second World War. That prize is now I think achievable. Iain Duncan Smith
Iain Duncan Smith quote: "After years of piecemeal reform the current welfare system is..."
After years of piecemeal reform the current welfare system is complex and unfair. Iain Duncan Smith
What we're putting forward is the most radical reform of the welfare state... for 60 years. I think it will have a transformative effect in making sure that everyone is better off in work and better off working rather than on benefits. David Cameron
