Welfare Reform Bill

I have already spoken to this amendment but I move it to clarify a point. In his response to my speech last Tuesday, the noble Lord said: ""I am pleased to say that we already have an extensive programme of published and planned research and analysis covering the employment position of people aged 50 and over"." I said in reply: ""I was pleased to hear the Minister say that they are doing constant research. If he could let me know, in a letter, the type of research being done I would be very grateful".—[Official Report, 9/6/09; col. GC 53, 55.]" The Minister is normally very assiduous in sending a reply by return. I would be extremely grateful if he could let me have a response, bearing in mind the details of subsection (2) in my amendment.
