It maybe another case of statistics being massaged, but this DWP press release makes for more encouraging reading.

'Since 1997, the number of people in work has increased by over 2.5 million and every single day around 250 people have come off out of work benefits.'

DWP Press release: Murphy: number on benefits down, as employment hits record levels 14 Feb 07

We could always cut the non-means tested child benefit, that is paid to all children regardless of how much their paren't earn, to pay for in genuine dire straits.
