I just want to be sure that I have understood this correctly. Three questions occur. First, why would the Government use as their comparator the position in old-style ESA rather than JSA or universal credit—the creature of their own invention, which they have just introduced? What is the difference between somebody on universal credit and somebody on income support? Secondly, will the Minister clarify that the guidance he has just referred to will be for a 13-week easement? That was the question asked by my right honourable friend Stephen Timms. Thirdly, if a
lone parent who had suffered domestic violence was then inappropriately asked to engage in work-related activity, she could appeal, but would her benefits be sanctioned in the mean time, and how long does the average appeal take? What would happen to her while she was trying to sort that out?
