Benefits: Eligibility

Contribution

My Lords, I want to follow on from the Question from the noble Viscount, Lord Younger. The Work and Pensions Secretary has said: “If people repeatedly refuse to take up the training or work responsibilities, there will be sanctions on their benefits”. Please can the Minister provide the House with a rough date for when he thinks we can expect to see these sanctions introduced?
