Welfare Reform Bill

Again, I repeat my worry that, by having this information on record, people who may not be in the category of drug users that is envisaged in the Bill will be labelled drug users. Employers are unwilling to go near drug users because of this attribute of criminality and all the rest of it, so this goes against what the Bill wants. It is very important to have an assurance that, if this information is given, it will not go beyond the person to whom it is given.
