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

Clearly, the Secretary of State and the department need to know what is going on, but it is not for them to say that main contractor X should use the services of charity Y, Z or A in the execution of that contract. It is for the Secretary of State to know that those subcontracts exist and that the prime contractor believes that he needs to use them, but it is surely not for him to direct the contractor to use a particular organisation to fulfil his contract.
