Benefits: Sanctions

Debate between Earl Howe and Baroness Thomas of Winchester

Thursday 10th September 2015 Lords Chamber

[Earl Howe]

My Lords, the Liberal Democrats have not had a turn in this Question. If we proceed quickly to the noble Baroness, Lady Thomas, we might then be able to have a question from the Labour Benches.

[Baroness Thomas of Winchester]

My Lords, would the Minister consider asking the Social Security Advisory Committee to conduct a review of sanctions policy on ESA claimants, as they did for JSA claimants with the Oakley review?
