Welfare Reform Bill

I am grateful for that information. I had occasion, I think on Thursday, to comment when I saw two Clerks sitting at the table here. There is a training technique, which is operated very often by employers, that is known as "sitting next to Nellie"—in other words, training by example. My noble friend might or might not illustrate the point that I am making. However, a person remaining in a job is less a feature of the Bill—although I would not disagree for a second that it is desirable—and more a feature of the new employee’s relationship within the organisation in which they are employed. Sometimes the employer can help significantly in keeping that person in a job. However, it is difficult to see what the outside adviser, whether a contractor or someone from Jobcentre Plus, can do to add to this process. But now is not the time to develop that thought and I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 43 withdrawn.
