I thank the noble Lord for correcting me. I think that that is right; it was not my intention to suggest otherwise. I am quite happy with that provision, as long as the Minister remains vigilant about any potential gaps. On that basis, I am happy to withdraw the amendment.

Amendment 2 withdrawn.

Amendment 3 not moved.

Amendment 4

Moved by Baroness Turner of Camden

4: Clause 1, page 2, line 10, at end insert—

"( ) Regulations under this section may not require a single parent with a child under seven years of age to participate in a 'work for your benefit' scheme."
