Conservative minister Rachel Maclean sparked outrage in an interview on May 16 where she suggested that Brits strapped for cash should work more hours or get better paid jobs.
As the cost of living continues to rise, putting added pressure on those trying to pay their bills, the statement was slammed by people of the UK and the opposition party.
Talking to Sky News, she said: I think what we need to focus on now is over the long-term.
