Proceeding contribution from Baroness Thomas of Winchester (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 21 July 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Welfare Reform.
Welfare Reform
My Lords, I very much welcome the increased resources and funding for Access to Work, which is so important. Will the noble Lord make sure that it is properly publicised? When I spoke on the Welfare Reform Act last year, I said that it was one of the least known about aspects of getting disabled people back into work, but it is very useful. This announcement is extremely welcome, but it needs to be well publicised among disabled people and employers.
