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

I strongly support the amendment, not unnaturally in the context of what we discussed last Thursday; namely, the need for advisers to understand about the family dynamics of the person who is being interviewed. I also support it in the context of everything that has been said around the Committee. It increasingly sounds as if an adviser’s job is an extremely complex and difficult one and that much longer training than is at present envisaged ought to be put in place.
