Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 28 February 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.


Welfare Reform Bill

I stress that a large amount of research and review is undertaken over a whole range of policy areas. Those reports are routinely published and are available on the website. No doubt a review of the PCA will be undertaken as part of that process. To force a somewhat artificial form of annual report of some kind would not be the right way to go. We have explained that there will be a review and that inevitably as a part of the department’s operations a whole series of reviews on how policies are working are produced. I will provide the noble Lord with a list of those that have been undertaken in relation to the Pathways to Work programme, which we referred to earlier. That will give a flavour of the extent to which these reviews are undertaken.
