Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) 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

Obviously, this is a framework Bill and the regulations would need to be much more specific. As I said a moment ago, the purpose of paragraph (3)(b) is to enable the information so supplied for the same purpose to be made available to, say, the employment support provider who is taking forward the programme and working on the rehabilitation plan, or the professional who is involved in the drug assessment process. The information could be provided to them. If it comes into Jobcentre Plus, it will come to the job adviser. But if the information that was originally provided was inaccurate or needed supplementing, this is a route to do it. If it comes into Jobcentre Plus, it could be made available to those, particularly the employment provider, who will work with the individual to get them on the rehabilitation plan.
