Iain Duncan Smith ..."On yer bike!!!"

Speaking last week he said, "In Britain now we have workforces that are locked to areas and the result of that is we have over five and a half million people of working age who simply don't do a job…. We have to look at how we get that portability, so that people can be more flexible, can look for work, can take the risk to do it."

What is the point of moving a family to an area where there is more work when another family that has work then has to move to the area where there is no work and then commute to work every day just to keep their jobs which are most probably minimum wage, so how can they afford to do so unless their employer pays the travel expenses?
It will cost quite a lot of money to relocate the families. So why don't the government give the employers an initiative to hire people that live outside of their areas by offering a grant of somekind for example a travel to work grant, so that they can just pay the travel expenses for their out of town employees. The grant would cost far less than the current benefits being paid to the out of town/out of work families.

Oh...by the way...don't the MP's get their travel expenses paid, and their accommodation paid for, just so that they are able to maintain their work!!!!
