Welfare Reform Bill

Proceeding contribution from John McDonnell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 15 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills on Welfare Reform Bill.
I do not want to get drawn into discussions about blue Labour, and I understand the hon. Lady's anxiety about almost flying against the localism agenda, but there is a mid-way point. Even if the Government are not looking at laying down criteria or guidelines, is there no thought that central Government could convene local authorities to explore best practice before the proposals are implemented?
