George spoke during the morning show on Radio Cornwall about the need to return to a more equitable system that doesn’t allow benefits to become the easy way out.
He highlighted that the overwhelming majority of people in Camborne and Redruth are hard-working, that this policy affects far fewer people than in other areas of the country but that those who work do want to see a cap in benefits that rewards salaries.
He pointed out that the cap is still generous, and there are notable exemptions for families with disabled children and others who receive disability benefit.
