Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 20 February 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.
Welfare Reform Bill
I am grateful to my noble friend for giving me the opportunity to clarify that matter. I confirm that we intend over time to migrate all existing customers, including those on IVB, on to the new system. As I also made clear, our broad approach to protecting people’s entitlements is that no existing customer will lose out in cash terms. Our principle is then to simplify the system and to bring people on to ESA rules, so far as possible.
