Welfare Reform Bill

Perhaps I may follow up that point, and I hope that the Minister will forgive me if this issue has already been made clear. One way of opening up these contracts to not-for-profit organisations would be if there were a different contract value for some of the more difficult-to-place persons. I had in mind to ask the Minister that question anyway. For example, one can imagine that some of these people will need very specific work-related activities. Obviously, noble Lords will not be surprised if I mention evidence-based psychological therapy. But if contractors are to make that sort of vitally necessary support available, they will need a higher-value contract. That would also take account of the lack of basic resource available to the not-for-profit organisations.
