Proceeding contribution from Lord Northbourne (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 15 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

Having listened to the Minister’s exposition of the position, I was only going to say that of course we all understand entirely what he said—but it might not necessarily be wholly comprehensible to the ordinary jobseeker. That seems very bad PR. If our advisers are trying to be jobseekers’ friends, surely we want to try to make the Bill simpler so that people can understand what it is saying.
