Welfare Reform Bill

I shall speak briefly in relation to the third of the amendments that has been put forward to Clause 17—that about, on page 8, "““creating and maintaining an online profile””." I can see the merits of having that available but it might become an imposition. Many people who may be looking for work would be scared stiff of that approach, particularly the older ones or those who have restricted abilities. To be imposing or suggesting that this is a requirement surely should not be written into the face of a Bill. I would be glad to hear the Minister’s justification for it.
