Proceeding contribution from Baroness Thomas of Winchester (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 30 June 2009. It occurred during Committee proceeding and Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.
Welfare Reform Bill
The problem occurs before this reaches prosecution when people are asked to accept the administrative penalty, which means having their benefits docked. They certainly do not want to go to court, but they might do that even when they do not know what they are supposed to have done wrong. The citizens advice bureaux have so many cases, it is very worrying.
