Gordon Brown is to use his first address to the Welsh Labour Party as PM at their Llandudno conference set out plans to give poor families extra benefits if they do extra work/training.
The plans are based on a US scheme operating in New York which gives money to those from the poorest backgrounds to stay in work/training schemes. Mr. Brown will be hoping that this can be used successfully in the UK to improve employment and training figures for those who are the poorest in society and as a remey for poverty. It is believed that pilot schemes will be announced shortly to see how effective these plans could be, however the Tories have denounced the Prime Minister of "chasing headlines" by adopting a policy which has only just begun in New York with no real results of effectiveness.
