Welfare Reform Bill

Proceeding contribution from Natascha Engel (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 January 2007. It occurred during Debate on bills on Welfare Reform Bill.
I thank the hon. Gentleman for that build-up. I think that he slightly misses the point about the sanctioning regime and the difference between the support group and the employment group. It was made absolutely explicit in Committee—it is explicit in the Bill—that if a person in a support group voluntarily went into work-related activity, his or her employment and support allowance could not be sanctioned.
