Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hollis of Heigham (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 19 March 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.
Welfare Reform Bill
My Lords, could the Minister help me on this? He spoke very carefully; I listened to the syntax. What he said is very welcome indeed and very sensible; I am sure that we all congratulate the Government on that. But he said that that involvement ““could”” count as work-related activity. What people, if any, might not qualify for the £80 or so a week disregard that will otherwise be on the new employment and support allowance? Who would not come within the scope of the change?
