Welfare Reform Bill

We started a consultation process around the right to control a couple of weeks ago. Where we go with the nature of the trailblazers and the components of the issues around support will be very much guided by that consultation. However, as ever, I am happy that we share with the noble Baroness and other noble Lords our thinking as that develops, particularly around provision for support for people. I readily accept the tenor of the debate—that if that is not there then a nominal right to control direct payments is not going to mean very much.
