Welfare Reform Bill

Perhaps I can write to the noble Lord, in English, on that matter. I understand why these amendments have been tabled but I do not believe that they are necessary. In some cases they could undermine the sanctions regime and confuse claimants. However, I hope that I have been able to demonstrate that there is a genuine raft of protections and that this is not about penalising people but genuinely about supporting people in moving them further towards the labour market.
