Proceeding contribution from Countess of Mar (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 18 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.
Welfare Reform Bill
The noble Lord, Lord Skelmersdale, said something to the effect that claimants should not require people to hold their hands, but in the first case study that we were sent the adviser took the individual to Marks and Spencer and even stayed with her there for some time. In the second case study, it was a similar set-up. So it looks as though the case workers will be expected on some occasions to stay with their clients.
