Proceeding contribution from Iain Duncan Smith (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 27 January 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.


Welfare Reform Bill

The Secretary of State mentioned conditionality, which, he knows, has pretty much fallen away under the jobseeker's allowance, in that little happens if people do not co-operate in the sense that he means. What sort of conditionality and penalties does he envisage for those—there will be a few—who simply do not want to co-operate, and who will not co-operate?
