Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Peter Bone (Conservative). It was answered on Monday, 8 January 2007 on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions.
Benefit Sanctions
- Question
- Last year, unemployment in Wellingborough increased by more than a fifth, and it is now more than nine years since the Government came to power. How will the Government’s policy on benefits sanctions help my constituents to find employment?
- Answer
-
There must be a combination of the right macro and micro-economic policies and the right welfare reform policies, which make it clear to those who are claiming, for example, jobseeker’s allowance that they are required actively to seek work. When they are not doing that, such behaviour must have a proper consequence.
