Proceeding contribution from Baroness Thomas of Winchester (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 1 March 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.


Welfare Reform Bill

I said that the amendment related to those who received either strand of ESA as their only household income and who satisfied the savings threshold for means-tested ESA. I presume that that would not be someone who is very wealthy.
