Welfare Reform Bill

Proceeding contribution from Iain Duncan Smith (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 March 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills on Welfare Reform Bill.
As I said to the hon. Member for Strangford (Jim Shannon), it is assumed straight away that this is a terribly intrusive process, but in reality what goes on is patchy. For many people, their condition may well have worsened. Do we simply want to say that we should not speak to them or see them, and that it is therefore left up to the vagaries of the system? It is not built into the system that they will be seen.
