Proceeding contribution from Mike Weir (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Monday, 24 July 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

I am interested in the Minister’s comments. I agree about the need to work with employers to get more disabled people back to work. However, one of the things that struck me about the Bill was the lack of any clear idea of how people will be helped once they have obtained a job, rather than in getting a job. Many people, particularly those with mental disabilities, require long-term help after they have been appointed to a job. Can the Minister tell us about his proposals in that regard?
