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

From these Benches, we welcome the government amendment in response to the Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Committee. It seems extraordinary that the housing benefit and Jobcentre Plus offices of very far apart and that, although informally they speak to each other, they often do not do so officially. What the noble Baroness has said is extremely welcome.
