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
The amendment would entitle participants in a "work for your benefit" programme to payment of jobseeker’s allowance at a rate, fixed in regulations, at the same level as for employees doing similar work. I acknowledge the concerns that have come from the TUC and, at the same time, the sterling work that my noble friend has done over many years with the TUC and trade unions. The noble Lord, Lord Skelmersdale, asked about compliance with the national minimum wage generally. That is outwith my briefing.
