00:00We are spending so much more now, billions more, on out-of-work benefits for people who have actually very
00:06low-level conditions.
00:08What we want to do is make work pay, make sure that there are jobs for people to go to,
00:13and get those people who can work into work.
00:15Work is probably one of the best things that could be done to help them with the conditions that they
00:20have.
00:20Do you acknowledge, though, you have not identified those people who currently receive welfare that won't get it under the
00:27Conservatives?
00:27You haven't got the plan for that yet.
00:29Oh, yes, we have explained exactly who these people are.
00:33We've even outlined what the conditions are.
00:35We put out a report that showed that people with tennis elbow are claiming motability.
00:41We need to get serious about cracking down on the welfare budget.
00:45Conservatives are the only common-sense party with a plan to get people working again and to unite the country.
00:52We know that these are tough decisions, but that's what government is about.
00:54If we only have people who just want to take the easy decisions and be popular,
00:58they're going to make the country poorer and they're going to make our people poorer.
01:01We don't want that.
