Proceeding contribution from Lord Skelmersdale (Conservative) 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

Before the noble Baroness answers that question, may I reinforce it by asking whether the number of appeals has gone up since the Atos scheme was introduced? I have asked this before in this Grand Committee and I do not recall receiving an answer, nor have I read such an answer. However, in response to that question, we discovered that the system is currently in a review period, whatever that may mean, and whatever may come out of it.
