Proceeding contribution from Baroness Thomas of Winchester (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 20 February 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

Why is Access to Work not well known? I take the point that it is well known in jobcentres and so forth and there are pages and pages about it on the DWP website, but it is not a well-known benefit. It is particularly important to find another way of getting the information to employers. Perhaps the DTI should be involved. Perhaps the CBI should take some steps. Will the Minister speak to colleagues in the DTI to see whether that could happen?
