Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 10 December 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Welfare Reform.
Welfare Reform
My Lords, the obligation under the regime will be to comply with conditionality. Depending on the lone parent’s circumstances, this will mean engagement with the job market and taking up employment. As I have said in previous debates, it would enable people to work only for 16 hours a week. I am conscious that that has probably not answered the specific question about whether, if that is an absolute right, it is being withdrawn. I think that the answer is no but I will have to write to the noble Baroness on that.
