Welfare Reform Bill

This is a new month but a continuing Committee stage. What I am about to produce is, I think, a new point. Clause 14, which is entitled ““Directions about work-related activity””, is treated rather shortly in the Explanatory Notes, which state: "““Clause 14 provides a power for the Secretary of State to direct that a specific activity in the case of an individual is not to count as work-related activity. This is intended to stop claimants seeking to satisfy the requirement to undertake work-related activity by undertaking activity that is considered inappropriate for their circumstances””." We will come to an amendment in a few minutes’ time that addresses some of that. If we were discussing this matter as an Oral Question, I would ask the Minister a very brief question, such as ““How?””. The reason is that I do not understand what this clause is doing. Will the Minister give us an example of how this would work? Although I suspect that it is a sensible provision, I should like that to be confirmed.
