Welfare Reform Bill

I was thinking of something that could be put up in every Jobcentre Plus office so that everybody knew where they stood. We may have to return to this when we have looked at the charter to which the noble Baroness referred. I am very grateful to her for giving such a full reply about the right of redress, which is very important. We have heard a lot about that and know more about it than we did previously. There is obviously great support around the Grand Committee for the whole idea of a document which gives clear rights and responsibilities. I take the noble Baroness’s point that we want it to apply more widely than just to the Bill, but welfare reform Bills, like No. 159 buses, come along quite often; perhaps soon we will have a third Bill in which a charter could be included. In the mean time, I shall read what the noble Baroness said. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 150 withdrawn.
