Welfare Reform Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Patel (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 14 February 2012. It occurred during Debate on bills on Welfare Reform Bill.
My Lords, it is true that some cancer patients may not need any treatment after surgery. But many others need therapy and my amendment refers particularly to those who cannot work because of their treatment or their suffering from the effects of the treatment. My key point is that those people want to work. As Jenni Russell said in her article, they are not skiving. They want to work. If the amendment is defective in that area, the purpose is not.
