Proceeding contribution from Lord Skelmersdale (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 18 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

Certainly I will withdraw my amendment. I was interested to hear the Minister say that not everything will happen at the same time. Perhaps we can develop that thought a little later today. It is clear that parents of pensionable age need to be defined. I accept that, but I wonder how many such people exist in the system. Is there any way of telling how many parents of pensionable age we are talking about? I leave that thought with the Minister as it is probably unfair to bounce him with it now.
