Proceeding contribution from Lord Skelmersdale (Conservative) 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 accept that but, given that the existing experience is based entirely on volunteers and that the new system will not be, it is difficult to lead one's thoughts directly from the first experience to the second. It is a general point. I suspect that the Government will not find the scheme quite as successful as the results of the pilots have led us all—me included—to believe.
