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

While the Minister is thinking about her reply, I have one quick question. Can the decision be overturned at any stage before an appeal? Suppose that the medical report comes in, let us say, five days after a decision has been made, can it be changed at that stage, or must it then wait for the long process of an appeal?
