Proceeding contribution from Baroness May of Maidenhead (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

I am grateful to the Secretary of State. It was not entirely clear whether he had finished his speech with that peroration. He talks a lot about comments that he claims were made in the past. In fact, his reference to the comments on the drugs issue of my predecessor, my hon. Friend the Member for Epsom and Ewell (Chris Grayling), is wrong, as I pointed out on Second Reading. However, he has so far not cited a single occasion when we have shown opposition to the Bill. How many times did we vote against the Government on the Bill in Committee?
