Welfare Reform Bill

I am not an expert; I defer to colleagues who know more about this than me, but I refer to my declared interest on day one as a non-executive member of the Wise Group. We undertake contracts such as these and hope to continue to be engaged in that in future. It would be impossible to generate the data which the amendment, which I support, requires unless it was an item in the contract between Jobcentre Plus and the Wise Group, or whoever. If that contract term is missing, there is no way that we can get the data that the academics are all waiting to work on. I would like an assurance. There is an argument about money and resources, but it is essential that the contracts for providers contain a requirement to deliver, or in some way capture, the data that the amendment covers.
