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

The noble Baroness yet again took the words out of my mouth. Before withdrawing the amendment, I was going to ask that the draftsman revisits paragraph 3(b). Although I am not a lawyer, I have a sneaking affinity with the drafting of Bills, and I do not think that the paragraph totally affirms the Minister’s statements on this. However, as he has very sensibly offered to take it away and look at it again, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 99 withdrawn. Amendments 100 to 115 withdrawn. Schedule 3 agreed. Clause 10 : Conditions for contributory jobseeker's allowance Amendments 116 to 118 not moved. Clause 10 agreed. Clause 11 : Conditions for contributory employment and support allowance Amendments 119 to 122 not moved. Clause 11 agreed. Clause 12 agreed.
