Jobseekers (Back to Work Schemes) Bill

Debate between Mark Hoban and Andrew Miller

Tuesday 19th March 2013 Commons Chamber

[Mr Hoban]

I do not want to end up getting stuck in a laborious process of issuing interim reports when I would much rather let the reviewer get on with the job. As a former Minister, the right hon. Gentleman will know that just getting interim reports out of the door can be time consuming. I would rather let the reviewer focus on good recommendations and good analysis instead of bogging him down in a bureaucratic process that will not benefit any of us. I take on board the right hon. Gentleman’s comments, but in the interests of expedition and speed an interim report would slow the process rather than accelerate it.

[Andrew Miller]

[Mr Hoban]

We have plenty of time for Third Reading. I will bring my remarks to a close by encouraging the House to support new clause 1.
