Proceeding contribution from Bill Esterson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 15 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.
Welfare Reform Bill
My hon. Friend talks about the involvement of local authorities. Several of my constituents have contacted me about a situation that arose when the computer system in Sefton council's housing office was down for six weeks. The staff advised my constituents to get crisis loans until the problem was fixed. I cannot understand how the Government's proposals will make it possible for those staff to provide any kind of crisis support. Does my hon. Friend agree?
