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 will certainly write to noble Lords so that we can try to put this matter to bed. Under existing arrangements, the incapacity benefit does not rise to the higher rate for most people until after week 52. For some people, there will be an interim rise at week 29. This is what we have to consider when making the evaluation. The ESA rises after week 13, which is the point that I have been trying to make, perhaps inadequately. I am grateful to my noble friend for helping me to elucidate that point.
