Proceeding contribution from Lord Freud (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 23 January 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.
Welfare Reform Bill
My Lords, it is a real point because we know that virtually all addiction treatment centres are manned by people who have gone through the experience of addiction. That is one of the reasons why they are able to help people. There is probably a very similar argument for convicts. Given the way in which we have incentivised the work programme, I would expect that that fairly basic knowledge will be picked up. I am in no position to instruct any work programme to do anything, but I hope that the way in which this has been structured financially will drive that logic.
