Proceeding contribution from Viscount Bridgeman (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 3 May 2007. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Integration Loans for Refugees and Others Regulations 2007.


Integration Loans for Refugees and Others Regulations 2007

My Lords, before the Minister sits down, if I understand my noble friend Lord James correctly, his objection was not to the scheme itself but to the unnecessary complication and loss of control through two departments being involved. Why cannot the whole of the control of this scheme, both the making of the loan and the recovery of the debt, be handled by the Department for Work and Pensions?
