Proceeding contribution from Baroness Thomas of Winchester (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 9 June 2009. It occurred during Committee proceeding and Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.
Welfare Reform Bill
Before the Minister finally sits down, can he assure us that in this time of scarcity of jobs there would not be a requirement for a lone parent in the progression-to-work group to be told, perhaps, that the only jobs about are cleaning jobs, and that that would be the next step to take? I have heard that this has happened already in some jobcentres. I hope that that is not the case, and I should like to be reassured on that point.
