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

If you look to the situation of a household involving polygamous marriages, the level of a claim that that household would make is actually less than would arise if, say, one of the wives were not treated as being part of that household and she claimed separately. I think that that is the situation.
