Proceeding contribution from Lord Taylor of Holbeach (Conservative) 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

I am reassured by that statement. Nevertheless, what would be even more reassuring is the knowledge that rehabilitation services will be available wherever they are needed. That, I believe, is the Government’s intention here and noble Lords would be happy to support it. Where I suspect we are somewhat at odds is that we feel that the introduction of these draconian measures without having rehabilitation services in place rather puts the stick before the carrot.
