Proceeding contribution from Lord Oakeshott of Seagrove Bay (Liberal Democrat) 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

We on these Benches share the suspicions, as the noble Baroness, Lady Meacher, put it so well, and the views of the other noble Baronesses who have spoken, about how it will work in practice. We have considerable reservations in principle on whether it is the right way for this service to go. If it is hived off or contracted out how will it be properly monitored and controlled?
