Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) 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

I have a tabulation of the issues which arise under the Bill and the proposed length of piloting of the various proposals. I shall be happy to share it with the noble Lord. He has referred to some of them. We spoke about the pension credit pilot and the three months relating to that. The noble Lord referred to the right to control Trailblazers in a case where we are looking for three years. Some of the others will require only two years. With the personalised employment programme we are looking for three years, with the possibility of extending it beyond that. There is different thinking about the appropriate lengths for a range of issues within the Bill.
