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 does that—oh! or rather before I do so—I had forgotten that we had got ourselves into a slight tangle. I am in a slight tangle because I quite understand that paragraph 5(1) refers to information going to the Secretary of State and to officers of the Secretary of State, as does paragraph 5(3)(a), but I still do not understand what prevents paragraph (3)(b) allowing information to go out from the officers of the Secretary of State to virtually anybody who is stated in the regulations.
