Welfare Reform Bill

I am grateful for that clarification; I clearly noted it down slightly wrongly. As for linking rules, I understood the Minister to say that, when there was a break, the customer would go back to the same level of benefit income as they had before they went into work; I hope that I have that one right anyway. However, he did not rise to the challenge of my question about the £40 back-to-work grant or whatever it is technically called; that will suffice for the moment. Clearly, a broken work pattern would mean that people would lose the £40 for periods when they were not in work. Does the £40 continue for 24 months of work activity or do people start again at the beginning of the £40 period when they get back into work, having been off work for a period? I was interested in the intention to migrate children first, but I would be horrified if the results of the Pathways to Work did not affect the precise way in which the relevant regulation would be drawn and laid when the time came. The Minister looks as though he is poised to answer my question about the £40, so I had better let him do it.
