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 is welcome as far as it goes, but only as far as it goes. I am delighted that there will be backdating to the beginning of the entitlement phase, which I think were the Minister’s words. That presumably does not mean the date of the claim. I assume that it means the point at which a rapid assessment, maybe in weeks three or four, has been made. Have I got the wrong end of the stick? If so, I am sure that the Minister will tell me.
