Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) 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

To clarify with a helpful note from behind me, the regulations are currently provided, and will be provided for new regulations, under the Jobseekers Act 1995 and the Welfare Reform Act. That is the basis on which the regulations will be developed. Of course, the guidance that will flow from that will be available to Jobcentre Plus advisers. I shall come on to training of Jobcentre Plus advisers, because I know that that is another issue that people feel strongly about. I hope that I have put the provisions on childcare in context, with who has the right to do what and the reasonableness test.
