Proceeding contribution from Stephen Ladyman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 5 March 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Adults with Learning Disabilities.


Adults with Learning Disabilities

I take my hon. Friend back to what he said about his new command structure and the importance of involving people with learning disabilities. Will he talk to his colleagues at the Department for Work and Pensions, to ensure that people with learning disabilities who attend such meetings do not find themselves excluded from receiving jobseeker's allowance because they are not available for work; that they do not have difficulty when claiming expenses because they have to be declared; and that they are given an honorarium to cover their time and effort in attending those meetings without losing benefit, pound for pound?
