Welfare Reform Bill

The point is well made. The research on Access to Work shows that applications come from a range of sources, which suggests that there is a degree of knowledge out there. However, I accept generally in relation to Access to Work and the other issues that I ranged over, there is more to be done. This is a significant task. We must do this on cross-governmental basis and in partnership with employers and the support groups which work so valuably and importantly with disabled groups. That is the best way forward. I hope that the Committee will find that helpful and that I have dealt with all the points that have been raised. If not, I am happy to have another go, but in the circumstances I will ask the noble Lord to consider withdrawing the amendment.
