Proceeding contribution from Lord Northbourne (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

I am very much in sympathy with the research project that is envisaged, but will the noble Lord, Lord Rix, explain the concept of "equality" in this context? It seems to me that certain types of disability might mean that there are not enough jobs available for that category of person. How then can you have equality?
