Welfare Reform Bill

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Sherlock (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 10 November 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.
My Lords, I understand that. The fact is that the noble Lord is not trying to make people want to work but telling them that they have to work. The evidence may be complicated. For me, the point of the objective is simple. I do not think that the state should be substituting its judgment for that of a parent of a young child as to when it is better to go out to work. That should be left to the parent.
