Proceeding contribution from Lord Skelmersdale (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 9 June 2009. It occurred during Committee proceeding and Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.


Welfare Reform Bill

The Minister misunderstood me, and I probably expressed myself badly. The second time I asked the question, I was asking it in global terms, not in precise financial terms. In other words, I did not want to know that £1 million of the £20 million on the original pathfinders was likely to be spent on childcare. I was asking whether the £20 million includes an amount, let us call it X, for childcare. That was what I was trying to pin down.
