Baroness Sherlock (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 July 2025

Debate

Welfare Reform

Contribution

I am sure that the noble Baroness knows, given her connection to the sector, that we specifically consulted on the future of Access to Work in the Green Paper. We are now working our way through the responses, and will make decisions on that basis. The demand for Access to Work has been growing at a very high rate—the previous Government will have been aware of this. It is very challenging. We want to consult on it and then look at how we can reform the system to make sure it helps as many people as possible.
