Clause 8
Welfare Reform Bill
10:30 am
Danny Alexander (Shadow Minister and Disability Spokesperson, Work & Pensions; Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey, Liberal Democrat)
I beg to move amendment No. 171, in page 7, line 6, at end add—
‘(7) A person authorised to exercise the functions in subsections (2) and (3) may be required to undergo such training in relation to claimants with particular impairments and health conditions as the Secretary of State may by regulation require.’.
It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship once again, Mr. Amess, and I am looking forward to continuing these debates in the positive spirit in which they have been conducted so far, especially, if I may say so, from the Government Benches, from whom the only party political remarks we have heard have come.
