Brilliant idea. Frank Field is just the man with a lifetime of caring, intelligent scrutiny of this very difficult problem.
Peter Cuthbertson: Make Frank Field Work and Pensions Secretary
Peter Cuthbertson argues that Frank Field was so quick on the uptake with analysing the true root causes of poverty and dependency, that David Cameron should bring him into the next Conservative Cabinet to implement the solutions himself. Even if it comes to office with a healthy majority, when...
