Proceeding contribution from Lord Ramsbotham (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 25 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

The noble Baroness has explained why we should not believe what we have been saying. However, there is a disconnect between what she has outlined and comments from people on the ground who say that, despite the strong steer from policy and research to set up evidence-based, supported employment services, very few places in the United Kingdom can say with any authority that they are actually doing it, or that it is working. That is coming from people on the ground. As I say, there is a disconnect between what people would like to happen, and like to think is happening, and what is actually happening, and that is what worries us.
