I thank the Minister for that further elucidation. I think that we are back to Dr Pangloss, the Jobcentre Plus advisers, because their role will be very important in this field and the work-related activity that is found for people. All Jobcentre Plus advisers must make themselves clear to claimants. I dare say that an awful lot of claimants, particularly those from ethnic minorities, simply do not understand what is happening to them. Very poor people will be penalised even further and have their benefits reduced.
However, we have spent some time on the amendment. I will study what the Minister said. In the mean time, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment 29 withdrawn.
Amendments 30 to 35 not moved.
