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

However, my hon. Friend’s specific point is primarily a matter for my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government.
