John Healey has pledged there will be a "reduction in the benefits bill" before the next general election, after opponents criticised his first Budget for lacking details on welfare reform.
The chancellor told the BBC it is "simply not good for Britain or progressive to have a bigger and bigger benefits bill", labelling the current system "unsustainable".
