Proceeding contribution from Baroness Thomas of Winchester (Liberal Democrat) 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
It sounds as if there is a certain amount of confusion. It was interesting that the Minister said that the department was working with doctors and at some stage I would be grateful to know exactly what that means. The situation is not satisfactory and all of this should not be left to the appeal process, because that would be expensive and a terrible waste of time. There must be some tightening up.
