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 am worried and feel as if I am banging my head against a wall—perhaps I am not being sufficiently clear. There are two groups—the support group and the employment group. Those in the support group cannot have their employment support allowance stopped, docked or sanctioned. The hon. Member for Bury St. Edmunds explicitly stated that he understood that financial support given to those in the support group cannot be stopped. Expressing a desire to participate in work-focused interviews or work-related activity will be backed in the support group, but those are only two of many options available to those in the group.
