Proceeding contribution from Lord Freud (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 11 November 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Welfare Reform.


Welfare Reform

My Lords, what we are announcing today is a structure that will encourage people to take the jobs that there are. A snapshot figure of 450,000 vacancies in Jobcentre Plus does not show the whole picture. There were 1 million vacancies in jobcentres in the past three months. In devising this strategy we will have looked at all conventions to make sure that we comply with them.
