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, quite a lot. The cap on the earnings-related component is driven by the various allowances that come from applying the system. If you had a contributory allowance and other income, that other income would not change the overall level of the employment and support allowance. So there are two strands to what is a single benefit, and the difference between those two strands is not just the permitted work rules.
