Proceeding contribution from Baroness Thomas of Winchester (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 25 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

I do not understand it either, because if it was a negative instrument I, my noble friend Lord Kirkwood, or someone else would table a Take Note Motion at the very least, so it would be debated somewhere—either on the Floor of the House or here—in any case. Making it an affirmative instrument is not wasting the time of the House at all.
