Proceeding contribution from Lord Freud (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 22 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

My Lords, I am somewhat confused by the amendment moved by the noble Baroness, Lady Turner. My understanding is that the "work for your benefit" regime would come into effect for those on the JSA regime. Lone parents will enter the JSA regime when the youngest child is seven, so the amendment seems to be redundant. I would be grateful to learn from the Minister whether my understanding is correct.
