Proceeding contribution from Jacqui Lait (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 21 July 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Welfare Reform.


Welfare Reform

The Secretary of State will know that the best providers in the field of back-to-work support say that it can take five years to get somebody into work. Is he prepared to let contracts of that length, and if he is, will he ensure that, should the Government decide to change the terms of the contract or to walk away from it, they will, in accordance with best practice, negotiate proper compensation?
