Welfare Reform Bill

Absolutely. I agree entirely with the thrust of the noble Lord’s point. We seem to be arguing only about how the PCA fits in to how you deal with all that. Issues of discrimination generally are dealt with through a range of factors, including cross-government engagement. I outlined earlier some of the engagement that is taking place. It is a huge task—I would not suggest otherwise—but I believe that we are approaching it on a cross-government basis. The welfare to work reforms are a component of that, but it is not the only plank of how we deal with this discrimination, which is entirely unacceptable.
