Welfare Reform Bill

I am sorry for the Minister being put under, I think, unreasonable sanctions or pressure himself, but I suggest that it might be unwise to get into a situation either where we were softies and were not prepared to take these things seriously or where, in circumstances where someone had been sanctioned, if they were to get into the frame of mind of saying, ““There is nothing to be lost; I shall carry on because it’s going to happen to me anyway””. There ought to be at least an opportunity for at least a negotiation on a restart of compliance.
