Welfare Reform Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Wigley (Plaid Cymru) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 26 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.
Perhaps I may add briefly that I identify totally with the rural dimension that the noble Baroness has just described. A bus twice a day would be a luxury in many villages in rural Powys and other parts of rural Wales. If a person has been lucky enough to have a job and a lift to work from a colleague, but the job comes to an end and they have no independent transport of their own and are required to go some distance to fulfil their obligations under the Act, that would be totally unreasonable. I would be glad to know what guidance the Minister will give to people who are trying to implement the Act on how to deal with circumstances such as those.
