Proceeding contribution from Lord Skelmersdale (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 28 February 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.
Welfare Reform Bill
I give modified support to the amendment because the GP’s letter will be vital. It occurred to me to wonder, rather than having the GP’s or the consultant’s letter subsequent to the application and the first—possibly the only—interview, why should not the claimant be armed with it when he first attends?
