Proceeding contribution from Baroness Carnegy of Lour (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 21 July 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Welfare Reform.


Welfare Reform

My Lords, how far have the Government gone in their discussions with employers’ organisations about providing jobs? We know from the days of the Manpower Services Commission, in which I was involved many years ago, that it is not at all easy to provide jobs for people who are being made to work compulsorily. A great many jobs will be needed and they will have to be motivating and interesting. How far have the Government gone on this issue, or have they not yet begun to consult?
