A Labor -Kabinet Minister yesterday claimed that there is a 'moral matter' for reducing the welfare account, while Rachel Reeves is preparing for the need to blame the expenditure for world events.
Justice secretary Shabana Mahmood said that the current situation is 'untenable' – with dozens of people without work that can be.
About 2.8 million people are not working due to poor health and one in eight young people has no education, education or employment.
In an attempt to bring unemployment down, ministers will announce around £ 5 billion in welfare reductions later this month.
The Chancellor is under pressure to lower the expenses after reports have reduced the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) its economic growth gaming.
Mrs. Reeves will submit her plans for issuing cutbacks to the OBR this week and is expected to blame the worldwide changes to put pressure on public finances.
“You don't need the OBR to tell you that the world has changed, that the loan costs around the world have risen and that we have to take action,” a source told the Financial Times.
Mrs. Mahmood defended the efforts to lower the expenditure of well -being yesterday and tell the BBC: 'We know that there are many people who currently receive state support not to have work that want to be at work.

Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall is expected to reduce payments that can see those who become unsuitable for any work that has been paid twice as much as job seekers
“We know that we have too many of our young people who currently have no work without work, not in education, work or training.”
She added: “There is a moral case here to ensure that people who can work can work and there is also a practical point here, because our current situation is untenable.”
The official spokesperson for the prime minister later said that the 'broken' welfare system 'drains our workforce by pushing people without work and instead being dependent on a life on well -being'.
NO10 later added that the welfare system 'fails young people' and 'failing people with health problems and disabilities'.
Work and pensions Secretary Liz Kendall is expected to reduce payments that can see those who are deemed unsuitable for every work that has been paid twice as much as job seekers.
But leading economist Paul Johnson said yesterday that cuts on well -being should be 'radical' to generate the required savings.
“You are only going to achieve important or noticeable savings, you will only convince the OBR, if you are going to do something very rather radically,” the IFS director told the BBC.
'Such as, for example, make people with certain types of conditions or certain illness levels that are not eligible for these benefits. Certainly tinkering with them will not do the work. '
The Ministry of Work and Pensions will today announce that 1,000 work coaches will be used to offer intensive employment support to sick and disabled people.
