Proceeding contribution from Lord Kirkwood of Kirkhope (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 11 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

I am grateful to the Minister because he is addressing some of the real difficulties we were struggling with on day one in the Committee, and I appreciate his attempt. I, too, would like reassurance about where exactly that guidance will go. Of course it can go in guidance to staff in the contractors and in Jobcentre Plus who are dealing with it, but it needs to go to advisers as well. It would be better if that language was reflected in the regulations.
