Welfare Reform Bill

I am grateful for the support I have had from the noble Baronesses, Lady Afshar and Lady Meacher. This little debate has highlighted that there is confusion between what is work-related activity that the progression-to-work people will be expected to do and the work-ready people. The noble Lord, Lord Skelmersdale, talked about part-time work being fine. We are surely talking about a part-time work trial. Part-time work for progression-to-work people sounds as though it is a permanent situation.
