Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (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
I acknowledge that there is always more to do to ensure that people are fully supported, but it would not be right to adjust these provisions. Instead, we should ensure that people can access the benefits to which they are entitled. We had a general discussion about that yesterday and reported to the Committee on what is under way. That is the best way to tackle the issue. As ever, I shall reflect on the noble Lord’s helpful contribution.
