Proceeding contribution from Baroness Morgan of Drefelin (Labour) 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
The Department of Health is carrying out a review of prescriptions, but the Department for Work and Pensions has been in discussion with the Department of Health. Obviously there are a number of passported benefits, and the Department for Work and Pensions needs to be absolutely clear that the regulations are appropriately handled to ensure that the technicalities of accessing those passported benefits are in hand. I can assure the Committee that that work is under way—although it will mean a great deal of work for a statutory instruments draftsman.
