A comprehensive welfare state

Summary

Kemmy urged consideration of a comprehensive welfare-state system like Britain’s to address injustices and anomalies. Creed said it was a separate matter, and Woods asked whether current measures would achieve this another way.

Would the Minister not consider introducing a fully comprehensive welfare State system along the lines of the British system in order to curb some of the injustices and anomalies of our present system?

Does the Minister agree that he will be doing this in another way through the measures being taken currently?
