Proceeding contribution from Lord Taylor of Holbeach (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 30 June 2009. It occurred during Committee proceeding and Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

When I wound up what I was saying on this amendment, I referred back to the fact that the Minister emphasised in his response to the previous group of amendments that there was a high degree of counselling and care involved in making a success of this scheme. Presumably that is at a higher level than at present. I asked a direct question about how this is to be funded. Is it funded out of existing resources? If it is funded out of existing resources, including the Social Fund itself, does that mean that there is less money available to be used for the purposes of the Social Fund itself, which is to provide a bonus?
