Welfare Reform Bill

From these Benches, I support the amendments. The Minister made a very welcome announcement at Second Reading that the mental health assessment and physical assessment scores would be combined. As the noble Lord, Lord Skelmersdale, said, it is essential that the commitment is spelt out in the Bill rather than being left to regulations. I shall leave my other comments on the PCA until our Amendment No. 38 is reached about the physical descriptors, unless somebody brings them into our discussions earlier. I will wait until then to talk about descriptors in more detail.
