Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 15 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

I hope that the technical note I have just read out explains the connection with the existing sanction provisions that needs to be made for these new arrangements, which is, ""is to be treated as"." It is the link to the provisions in the Bill and to Section 20A that drives this action. Not only do we need the word "is", we need "is to be treated as". That is why we need to insert the phrase.
