Welfare Reform Bill
Anne McGuire (Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Disabled People), Department for Work and Pensions; Stirling, Labour)
On a point of order, Mr. Hood, would you allow me an opportunity to correct the Official Report? The record shows that I told the hon. Member for Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey that, since its introduction, the two strikes measure has been applicable to 320 cases a year, of which 190 have had the sanction applied. I now wish to make it clear that 320 is the total number of cases to which the measure has been applied since the legislation commenced in April 2002 and that the sanction was applied in 190 cases.
Jimmy Hood (Lanark and Hamilton East, Labour)
That was not a point of order; it was a point of information, but thank you.
