Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 1 March 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.
Welfare Reform Bill
There is no requirement in any of what we are doing, even when we roll out the work-related activity components of the Bill, for anyone to go into any specific job. Access to payment by results will be based on people being in work for a certain number of hours over a period and not on benefits for a period, but the precise quality or nature of the job is not a key consideration. I am given reassurances from behind me on that point. I hope that that deals with the point.
