Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 19 March 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.


Welfare Reform Bill

My Lords, I thought that the noble Lord would ask me that when I spoke earlier. Perhaps I may write to him with a figure. Again, I reassure noble Lords that we will continue to look for more flexible ways of helping people to take up beneficial opportunities without fear of their benefits being removed. Accordingly, I urge the noble Baroness to withdraw the amendment, and I can now announce that no cost is attached.
