Welfare Reform Bill

Clause stand part is a catch-all debate. I agree with the noble Baroness, Lady Meacher, that unless palliative mental health care is available for those individuals with mental illness of even moderate severity, they will not ultimately approach the workplace. That is both their objective and ours in considering the Bill. The noble Baroness, Lady Thomas, is quite right about that. My reason for getting to my feet is rather different—it is to make a sort of apology. When withdrawing the previous amendment, I cut off the noble Baroness, Lady Morgan, in her prime. She was in full flow and suddenly came to a grinding and unintended halt. I would be most grateful if she could impart the information she was going to impart when I cut her off, because it would be extremely useful to all of us.
