When does the access to work fund get mentioned to the claimant? At what point would that be mentioned?

Yes, that is the process. Crucially, this assessment identifies the specific support required to undertake a particular role. Given this, we believe the amendment is impractical because it is impossible to determine what reasonable adjustment someone might need until you know what job they are going to do. The amendment...

I thank my noble friend Lady Turner for her amendment, which gives me another opportunity to provide some reassurance—I hope—on issues on which, I acknowledge from what she and other noble Lords have said, they have had a lot of correspondence. On the issue about reference and engagement of the...

I apologise for coming in late and missing some of the opening speeches. For me, the amendment gets it the wrong way around. Can my noble friend tell us, or perhaps write, which fund, if any, the personal adviser could use to attach to somebody who is on or has...

I would be happy to write to the noble Baroness on that. As I originally said, our assessment of the cost of the amendment is serious money: £750 million.

Yes, we take that very seriously; I am sure that a meeting can be arranged. The noble Baroness, Lady Thomas, referred to the letter in the Guardian, which I have not seen, and talked about schizophrenia and being bipolar—they are mentioned the letter. She asked whether that would be in...

I wonder if my noble friend Lord Rea will allow me to be his friendly neighbourhood psychiatrist. I must confess that whenever I am inundated by hundreds of briefing notes, a little bit of me feels that they must be wrong. There is a little corner of me that is...

No, and I am sure that we will discover from the Minister’s answer to the debate whether that is a job adviser or anyone else within the jobcentre. I rather doubt it, but we will discover, won’t we? The specific matter of propensity raised in these amendments begs the question:...

I am very eager to support my noble friend’s amendment. I know next to nothing about drug addiction. The noble Lord will be pleased to hear that I am not going to speak at length about it. The alarm bells were set ringing when the noble Baroness, Lady Meacher, mentioned...

My noble friend Lord Dubs has asked me to talk to the stand part debate because he cannot be here this afternoon. It was tabled at the suggestion of the Joint Committee on Human Rights, of which he is of course a member. The usual reason for tabling a stand...

I thank the Minister for that reply, and particularly thank the noble Baroness, Lady Campbell, for her speech, which was extremely interesting. It was so detailed, and she knew exactly what I was talking about. The noble Lord, Lord Taylor, has broken his duck for today, and I am glad...

I am certainly happy to see whether we can reconsider the drafting to address that point more specifically. I understand the issue that is being raised.

I was just coming to that very point. Amendments 101 and 102 focus on this particular power. Amendment 101 removes it entirely, and Amendment 102 exempts health and social care workers from its scope. Both amendments would prevent the use I have just described. We also intend to use this...

It is very much to cover the circumstances that the noble Baroness identified. If somebody has come into Jobcentre Plus, been asked about drug dependency and has answered that they have none, but the flows of information from the police suggest otherwise, having that information available to Jobcentre Plus is...

It cannot be the Bill team. You should never blame officials. Clause 13 disagreed.

The Bill team tell me that it was their fault. They seem to be falling on their sword.
