Proceeding contribution from Lord Taylor of Holbeach (Conservative) 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 Bill gives us an opportunity to address the issue. The amendment would give people who are not particularly well equipped to trawl through the benefits systems for various allowances an opportunity to receive an exemption that would provide for their needs. The Minister seems to rely a great deal on the capacity of the system to pick up these people, who, as we well know, are often the most vulnerable in society.
