Welfare Reform Green Paper

My Lords, the answer must be yes, but we want to do it in a way which opens the eyes of employers to the fact that if they do more—whether with older people, lone parents or people on incapacity benefit—it will contribute to their company’s performance. I am convinced, having now visited a large number of companies who take this, and health and safety, seriously, that these are often the companies with a very profitable bottom line. We want to work with employers to ensure that many more opportunities are created. On disability groups and the DRC: yes, that goes without saying.
