Welfare Reform Green Paper

My Lords, I applaud the Government’s efforts to swing around the rather cumbersome vehicle of incapacity benefit. I pay tribute to him and to my noble friend Lady Hollis on their role in formulating these imaginative proposals. Perhaps I may enter one caveat. Will Ministers bear in mind that pressure of any kind on vulnerable people would be unacceptable and that ultimately the only person who really knows whether they can work is the disabled person?
