Proceeding contribution from Kali Mountford (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 24 July 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

My right hon. Friend is describing a new system that will bring together those in different parts of the civil service who did not work so closely together previously, along with other sectors. May I tell him that my discussions with people inside Jobcentre Plus suggest that that is causing them some concern. They need to learn lessons from the past. They are also concerned about the target that has been set of benefiting 1 million people’s lives. The assessment that others have made that that target is not too challenging does not fit with their concerns about the new system.
