Welfare Reform Bill

From what has been said, it is clear that there is a considerable amount of discretion for the personal adviser about whether childcare is reasonably available. That is the term used. The Minister did not answer the point about what would happen if a child refused to go to the available childcare facilities—and of course kids of 13 or 14 are very likely to refuse to do what one would dearly like them to do, as I know well. I feel that there is discretion for the personal adviser whether to take that seriously or whether simply to sanction the parent. Could the Minister give some sort of assurance on that?
