Proceeding contribution from Lord Boswell of Aynho (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 January 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.


Welfare Reform Bill

The hon. Gentleman will not be surprised to learn that I agree very much with what he is saying. Is it not also important for the assessment to cover any anomalies or disparities in either the regional or the sectoral treatment of persons subjected to the assessment, given the possibility that different regions or groups of examining medical officers may take different views and may also have blind spots on particular kinds of disability?
