Proceeding contribution from Earl of Listowel (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 10 November 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

My Lords, I thank the Minister for his helpful reply. I want to check with him about the question of school hours. Does that really mean ““school hours””, and will the adviser take into account that the person will have to travel for an hour or an hour and a half to get to work, and back again at the end of the day, so that it will go over school hours? Does it also mean that if a job requires someone to work in the school holidays as well, that will be seen as an inappropriate job for that person? I would guess that it clearly means that, but I would appreciate a response to my first question.
