Proceeding contribution from Lord Oakeshott of Seagrove Bay (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 13 December 2007. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Financial Assistance Scheme (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2007.
Financial Assistance Scheme (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2007
I am sorry. This has been going on for some months now. The campaigners have made it clear that they believe that the figure is of the order of 50 per cent or 60 per cent. I cannot see in any way how we need to wait for the Young review. If the Minister does not know, will he please give us an undertaking that he will immediately calculate that? This calculation must have been done in the DWP, given how much pressure there has been on it. If he does not know the figure, it is a disgrace. Will he promise to produce it next week?
