Proceeding contribution from Lord Hutton of Furness (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 March 2007. It occurred during Urgent question on Welfare Reform.


Welfare Reform

The hon. Gentleman is right that the debate has been going on for a considerable time. I tabled a written ministerial statement because I felt that that was the right way to inform the House about what was going on. However, in relation to the urgent question, we felt that it was more appropriate to come before the House. I have tried to make it clear that there was no suggestion of any discourtesy to Members, and I am happy to make that clear again now.
