Proceeding contribution from Countess of Mar (Crossbench) 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 have already spoken to this amendment but I move it to clarify a point. In his response to my speech last Tuesday, the noble Lord said: ""I am pleased to say that we already have an extensive programme of published and planned research and analysis covering the employment position of people aged 50 and over"." I said in reply: ""I was pleased to hear the Minister say that they are doing constant research. If he could let me know, in a letter, the type of research being done I would be very grateful".—[Official Report, 9/6/09; col. GC 53, 55.]" The Minister is normally very assiduous in sending a reply by return. I would be extremely grateful if he could let me have a response, bearing in mind the details of subsection (2) in my amendment.
