Clause 8
Welfare Reform Bill
2:00 pm
Jim Murphy (Minister of State (Work), Department for Work and Pensions; East Renfrewshire, Labour)
With your indulgence, Mr. Amess, we will discuss that in debates on other amendments as we proceed.
Of course, we want to maximise information sharing, but information gathered for disability living allowance, for example, is intended for a different purpose and for different outcomes and entitlements. We seek to share information and minimise the number of times that people are asked for the same information, but it is not as straightforward as the hon. Gentleman suggests and I think that everyone acknowledges that.
