Welfare Reform Bill

This has been a useful debate, not least because we have had the very kind offer to see the computer system at work. Members on these Benches will be pleased to take up the invitation; it is exactly what we wanted. I was also pleased to hear the noble Lord, Lord Skelmersdale, make the point that the evaluation of the pilots has been useful so far, but we know that comparatively few people have been involved in the pilots and—this is perhaps one of the major worries—that they have been per capita the subject of a much better rate of funding and one that may be unrepresentative. While the pilots have given some clues as to what is going on, they have not been particularly clear about what is happening with regard to mental health problems, and this is the greatest worry. The early quantitative evidence from the Institute of Fiscal Studies is just that: early evidence, so we will have to watch this carefully. In the mean time, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendment No. 86 not moved.] On Question, Whether Clause 18 shall stand part of the Bill?
