I think that I have been on that subject long enough. I want to move on.
Some of the amendments that I have tabled call for pilot schemes to be conducted, and I hope that the Government accept the need for that. They also propose that the work for benefits scheme must end in 2013 unless it receives a positive evaluation, and that special care must be taken to evaluate how especially vulnerable groups fare in the system.
Finally, clause 1 talks about a system that is "designed", but my amendment 44 proposes that the wording should be "personally tailored". The word "designed" suggests that everyone must fit a template imposed by a person on the outside, whereas the phrase "personally tailored" takes much more seriously the need to make the advice given by personal advisers relevant to the individual.
