New Clause 10
Welfare Reform Bill
12:15 pm
Anne McGuire (Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Disabled People), Department for Work and Pensions; Stirling, Labour)
The hon. Gentleman has raised a reasonable point. In the light of the examples that he has highlighted—and, given that we want to consult on the regulations—I hope he would accept that we do not want to disadvantage anybody. I will obviously reflect on this short debate to see whether, in the new regulations, we can accommodate what he admits are unusual but important circumstances for an individual. With those comments, I ask the hon. Gentleman to withdraw the motion.
