Proceeding contribution from Baroness Sherlock (Labour) 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
Perhaps I may try to understand this. I apologise if I have not grasped it until now. Let us assume that someone has refused to co-operate and perhaps has a drug problem that has not been identified until this point. Something happens, possibly even as a result of the shock of the sanction, and they get themselves into a position where they are enabled finally to begin the process of engaging and searching. At that point, will the adviser simply stop the sanction and put them back into compliance? Even at its simplest, if somebody has no income they cannot look for a job, unless it is next door.
