Proceeding contribution from Baroness May of Maidenhead (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 27 January 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.
Welfare Reform Bill
I suggest that the Secretary of State actually looks at the publications to which he has put his name. Page 96 of the White Paper says that"““most existing claimants over the age of 50 will be offered a single Work Focused Interview.””" That means that those 1.2 million people on incapacity benefit aged over 50 are effectively being written off.
