Proceeding contribution from Baroness Meacher (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 11 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.


Welfare Reform Bill

No, I did not particularly want the noble Lord to give way. However, it seems to me that in something as important as the definition of "good cause", which is the primary safeguard in the Bill, it should be possible for people to sit down and work out the absolutely essential elements of something that should last for a number of years. I cannot believe that we cannot do that. It is so important that we should.
