Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hollis of Heigham (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 22 June 2009. It occurred during Committee proceeding and Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

Would not my noble friend welcome having in his back pocket the possibility at some stage down the line of introducing an additional work-related premium, so that if it was thought desirable it would not depend on primary legislation but could be introduced, possibly after consultation? If he were willing at this stage not to go for this amendment—I accept that he is not going to do that—but to use his best endeavours to come back at Report with an agreement or statement to the effect that regulations would be possible to cover this, should it be shown to be desirable in future, I would be content. Would he do that?
