Proceeding contribution from Bishop of Bath and Wells (Bishops (affiliation)) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 10 December 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Welfare Reform.


Welfare Reform

My Lords, I note from a very quick look that the White Paper requires people to take part in full-time activity in return for benefits. Who will provide the full-time activity? Will it be provided in the form of a government scheme or is it expected to take another form? I am not clear how this proposal will be implemented.
