Welfare Reform Bill

I, too, support the amendment, because it particularly brings in the over-50s, many of whom will have worked for many years in the motor industry, for example, and, as in my neck of the woods, in the carpet industry—and they have special skills. It would be a good idea if they could be mentors to younger people and pass on their skills, which take a long time to acquire. Once those are lost, they are lost for ever. I have said this about farming. You cannot learn farming overnight.
