Proceeding contribution from Lord Hain (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 20 October 2011. It occurred during Grand Committee proceedings (HC) on Work Programme (Wales).


Work Programme (Wales)

I thank the hon. Gentleman for allowing me to intervene; diolch yn fawr. He makes a valid point. If the Government are going to force and frogmarch people off disability benefits of one kind or another, there have to be jobs for them to go to; that is his point. It is not sufficient to consider only those currently on jobseeker’s allowance, which is what the figures show; we must also consider the potentially significant number of those who are classified as economically inactive.
