Proceeding contribution from David Laws (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 2 March 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Lone Parent Employment.


Lone Parent Employment

: Does the Minister therefore rule out a change in the age limit in relation to which lone parents can continue to receive income support without having to pass a work test? If she does, can she say why, because that is inconsistent with experience across most of the rest of the developed world and with the Government's application of the sanction regime in respect of jobseeker's allowance?
