Workers on the Breadline

Synopsis

Millions of British workers are being paid too little to live on - and some are on such low wages they can't afford to eat properly. Reporter Richard Bilton meets workers on the breadline who only get by because of big handouts from the government. These benefits for the low paid are now costing taxpayers £28 billion a year, so why do so many British workers find it impossible to pay their own way?
