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 point I tried to make was that if a tenant falls into arrears of eight weeks or more, payments should be made direct to the landlord subject to exceptions where eight weeks or more of the rent arrears are owed in order to help customers avoid eviction action. It would be sensible if I wrote to the noble Lord and set out the timings in clear detail.
