The post you are reporting:
Jan, there are two discussions goin on conerning unemployed people, one regarding people louting about doing nothing, to aeassume one current opinion, the other regarding the total number of people that the Government considers unemployed.
IDS stated that 500,000 people on incapacity benefits could get to work immediately, and the point I have been trying to bring over is that, in high, they are preparing a new set-up of laws to get millions of unemployed people in Britain to work.
The Bill will be presented in Parliament in January, and the 'new credit' scheme, as it has been called, will be phased in from 2013.
I think it ought be pointed out, that if about 5 million people are supposed to get a job, the problem will not be directing all flood-lights on 'lazy people doing nothing', but on getting millions of people to work. How the Government will go about it, with so few work vacancies for so many people, only God, or may-be even Gov., knows!
So, no Jan, IDS did not say 'some of those claiming incapacity benefit', but 500,000 of those, immediately, and hundreds of thousands of others claiming said benefits (incapacity) with some extra help. Adding to the 1,5 million people on unemployment benefit, and the one million unemployed who do not receive unemployment benefit.
Your 'some of those', does not correspond to what I read on official Government websites. Sorry Jan!
