Proceeding contribution from Lord Skelmersdale (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 2 July 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

The Minister pointed out that sanctions already exist in the field of actively seeking work under the Jobseekers Act 1995. One can readily understand that the regime will be slightly different when applied to the Clause 2 group, the progression-to-work group. It would be extremely helpful if I and perhaps the noble Baroness, Lady Thomas, could see the pro forma letters which currently exist for the first group and what is likely to be available or used for the second group, so that we can make a judgment on this.
