Welfare Reform Bill

As often happens in the development of policy, we focus on one issue and then move on. The thrust of the proposition which we want to test through our pathfinders is to encourage people through a progression-to-work path. We give them support to undertake that journey and, in a sense, that should be the incentive which helps to move them from where they are to attaining work and all that that can mean. In shorthand, we have moved on from where we were.
