Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 5 February 2008. It occurred during Committee proceeding and Debate on bill on Child Maintenance and Other Payments Bill.


Child Maintenance and Other Payments Bill

I think it operates symmetrically so that if somebody goes from work to benefits there is an immediate reassessment, and if he goes from benefits to work there is an immediate reassessment. We are not locked in to the preceding 12-month calculation. How speedily that can be done depends upon the circumstances. I am not sure that I can give a clear answer to that, but one would want it to be done expeditiously.
