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

The £40 is for a 12-month period. If somebody goes into work, that starts a 12-month period; if they come out of work, it ceases. If they go back into the system and start work again, the clock starts again on that 12-month period. I stress that the payment is due only when salary levels are at £15,000 and below.
