Proceeding contribution from Lord Skelmersdale (Conservative) 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
Once again, the Minister has been extremely helpful. I readily understand why it may be appropriate to use a government building—for example, what I used to call a social security office and is now called a jobcentre—for a provider to hold courses in, or perhaps to interview the potential or actual participant. That is straightforward. I am not sure, though, why grants and so on are required. I shall have to read what the Minister said very carefully, not least what he said about the provision replicating the provision in the Welfare Reform and Pensions Act. The fact that it does so does not necessarily mean that the provision is required here, but I shall look into that.
