Proceeding contribution from Lord Evans of Temple Guiting (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 18 May 2006. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Social Security (Income Support and Jobseekers Allowance) Amendment Regulations 2006.


Social Security (Income Support and Jobseeker’s Allowance) Amendment Regulations 2006

My Lords, the ““magic””—although there is probably nothing magical about it at all—is simply that after looking at the length of court cases and doing a very considerable amount of analysis, it was felt that an eight-week period would capture most and be the period that conformed with the spirit of what we were trying to do in the order. But as I said, we shall write at greater length on the matter, and share the analysis and research with noble Lords.
