Anne McGuire (Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Disabled People), Department for Work and Pensions; Stirling, Labour)

On a point of order, Mr. Amess. I wish to clarify something that I said during Tuesday’s debate on amendment No. 257.

David Ruffley (Shadow Minister, Work & Pensions; Bury St Edmunds, Conservative)

I remember it well.

Anne McGuire (Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Disabled People), Department for Work and Pensions; Stirling, Labour)

The record will show that I said that certain groups of claimants are excluded from local housing allowance and pathfinder schemes and that we will replicate that provision at the national roll-out. I want to clarify what I said about charities. Claimants will be exempt from local housing allowance schemes only if care and support or supervision is provided by the charity; that replicates exactly the pathfinder position. I thank the Committee for its indulgence.

David Amess (Southend West, Conservative)

The Committee is most grateful that the Minister has refined her position.

Jim Murphy (Minister of State (Work), Department for Work and Pensions; Renfrewshire East, Labour)

On a point of order, Mr. Amess. I shall welcome you to the Chair at a more appropriate point in our proceedings. For the avoidance of doubt, I confirm that during our conversations on Tuesday I referred to an organisation called “working links”; hon. Members will be aware that I should have called it WorkDirections. I hope that I have reassured the Committee.

David Amess (Southend West, Conservative)

It is entirely in order that both Ministers have tidied up the record.
