Proceeding contribution from Lord Hutton of Furness (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 24 July 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.


Welfare Reform Bill

We do all we can to bring an entitlement to benefit to the attention of such people, but I will reflect on what my hon. Friend has said and see whether there is anything more that we can do. We are not in the business of giving advice, but it is our responsibility to ensure that people are at least aware of the various entitlements that might be available to them.
