This government has embarked on one of the most aggressive
programmes of welfare reform Britain
has ever seen, and we already have a proud record of achievement. There is no
doubt that changes to the welfare state are desperately needed. Our reforms
will put an end to people being left on sickness benefits year after year; they
will eradicate the trap that has left so many better off on benefits than in
work; and they will ensure the benefits bill is sustainable over the longer

whether the dramatic pace of our reforms is too difficult to implement. But
these doubts ignore my department's proven track record of delivering change
and show a lack of ambition from the people raising them. Look at what has
already been achieved. Read more on the
