Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 26 October 2011. It occurred during Committee proceeding and Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

My Lords, I agree with that and I am sure that we all would. I suppose it depends a little bit on the precise programme and activity, but the point is not to lose that opportunity for individuals who are already undertaking it because Jobcentre Plus is imposing other requirements with clashing commitments, meaning that people have to drop out of the programmes. That was a particular point that was pressed on us. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 51CDC withdrawn. Amendment 51CE not moved. Clause 16 agreed. Clause 17 : Work search requirement Clause 17 : Work search requirement Amendment 51CEA not moved. Amendment 51CEB Moved by
