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 am sure we all understand that now. However, should the assessment be completed early, there would still be a waiting period before the due benefit was paid. I certainly accept the suggestion of the noble Lord, Lord Oakeshott, that the Minister should write to us on this and I am grateful for the Minister’s agreement to do so. This knotty matter clearly requires further study from our different perspectives. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendment No. 6 not moved.]
