Proceeding contribution from Lord Freud (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 1 November 2011. It occurred during Committee proceeding and Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

This is an extraordinarily small group. In extremes, we would look to run to more sanctions on top. I described how sanctions would work concurrently. We are looking at a sanctions regime that will replace the current regime, which states that people are not entitled to JSA because they are not complying at all with their conditions. In some ways it is a rather lighter regime than the current one.
