Jobseekers (Back to Work Schemes) Bill
Lord
McKenzie of Luton moved, as an amendment to the motion that the bill be now
read a second time, at end to insert “but that this House deplores the
Government’s incompetence in failing to provide sufficient information about
its back to work schemes, which led to the need to introduce legislation with
retrospective effect; deplores the need to introduce fast-track legislation
when it took the Government four weeks to introduce the Jobseekers (Back to
Work Schemes) Bill into Parliament and in spite of the Constitution Committee’s
ongoing concerns about the fast-tracking of legislation; seeks assurances that
the appeals process will be robust, speedy and efficient, and that the criteria
of the independent report to be prepared under clause 2 will be strengthened to
include greater details regarding the number of sanctions, the nature of those
affected, the appeals process, the support available to those affected and the
effectiveness of the hardship and mitigation provisions; and further seeks
assurances that adequate legal advice will be provided to those affected by the
introduction of this legislation.” The House divided:
