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

To deal more specifically with that point, perhaps I should re-read the White Paper to which the noble Lord refers. The development of support services has clearly moved on, however, in communities up and down the country. Picking up on a point made by the noble Lord, Lord Oakeshott, rehabilitation support services are not only meant to kick in when people get evicted and are about to be sanctioned, but before that. We hope that that is the overwhelming result. Nobody wants to have to apply these sanctions; they will be a success if they are never used. We must all hope for that outcome.
