Welfare Reform Bill

I am reassured by what the Minister has just said. It emphasises, though, the need for individual care monitoring to make a success of these welfare reforms. At almost every level at which we have discussed these matters, we know that the relationship between the client and the welfare agencies is the key to success. Given the way the provision is structured, one hopes that it will succeed in doing that. The Minister has said what I expected him to say. I did say that in those circumstances I would beg leave to withdraw the amendment, which is exactly what I now seek to do. Amendment 126 withdrawn.
