Welfare Reform Bill

I said that there would be a succession of directions, but that at any one time there would be only one direction. But that would not preclude subsequent directions. The idea is that someone would come in for a work-focused interview and there would be discussion around activity. If necessary, a direction would be imposed. At the next work-focused interview there would be a reflection on that to see how that had progressed. It may be that if encouragement to make further progress is not undertaken, another direction could be given to address another remaining barrier. But there would not be two directions at the same time.
