Proceeding contribution from Lord Addington (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
If it is functional capacity that is being tested, what is the process by which that is assessed if you are not really an expert in the field? At which point are you told that you have to bring an expert in? When are you told that you do not understand something? It would be helpful to have that brought out. It would reassure me if there was a limitation whereby someone could say, ““I don’t know what I am dealing with here and I need an expert brought in””. Has that been addressed?
