Proceeding contribution from Ian Davidson (Labour) 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 said that he did not feel that he could impose sanctions on people who were unsuccessful in interviews. However, he knows that some people who attend interviews make it clear to the prospective employer that they are not in the least interested in the job and that they are there only because they are obliged to come. Perhaps the Secretary of State might want to reconsider his view about never applying sanctions to people who are unsuccessful in an interview.
