Welfare Reform Bill

I stress that a large amount of research and review is undertaken over a whole range of policy areas. Those reports are routinely published and are available on the website. No doubt a review of the PCA will be undertaken as part of that process. To force a somewhat artificial form of annual report of some kind would not be the right way to go. We have explained that there will be a review and that inevitably as a part of the department’s operations a whole series of reviews on how policies are working are produced. I will provide the noble Lord with a list of those that have been undertaken in relation to the Pathways to Work programme, which we referred to earlier. That will give a flavour of the extent to which these reviews are undertaken.
