Dr Victoria Winckler, director of independent think-tank the Bevan Foundation, and Guto Bebb MP, Conservative representative for Aberconwy, share their views on claims by a Welsh government report that the nation’s economy is losing £930m every year because of welfare reform.

Mr Bebb described the report as political posturing while Dr Winckler said households were a “great deal worse off” under the reforms.

They were speaking with Oliver Hides on BBC Radio Wales on 17th February 2014 – you can listen to their discussion via this link:  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-26223281
