Proceeding contribution from Baroness Clark of Kilwinning (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 27 January 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

Does my right hon. Friend recognise that there is great deal of concern, particularly about people with young children who simply may not be able to carry out the kind of work-related activity proposed in the Bill? Will he confirm that everybody's personal circumstances will be taken into account because, in some families, it is in the interest of neither the parent nor the children to go down this path? Will the particular circumstances override the simple view that work is the most important thing?
