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

That explanation is very helpful and will be extremely welcome to the various people advising me. I had not appreciated that point; the voluminous papers on the Bill did not make it clear that the grant was for 12 months rather than 24. Never mind. I am extremely grateful to the Minister. I am sure that we will return to these and linked subjects throughout the afternoon’s proceedings. In the mean time, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendment No. 2 not moved.] Clause 1 agreed to.
