Welfare Reform Bill

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Sherlock (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 3 November 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.
My Lords, I want to save the Minister getting up twice, as I want to ask him a question on a similar point. I have been trying to wrestle with some of the briefing that has come in on this issue. Can he answer two simple questions? Is it possible for somebody to face MDRs of higher than 100 per cent if they are, for example, a second earner with childcare costs? Secondly, if somebody would actually be worse off in work, would they still be sanctioned for failing to do it?
