Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hollis of Heigham (Labour) 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

My noble friend is being extremely helpful and I am very grateful. As regards the 46 per cent success rate for the community care loans and so on, was that primarily or exclusively because it was cash-limited or was it because of some more formal ineligibility? If it was cash-limited, and given the very high recovery rates that my noble friend has just elicited, why are we not increasing the cap in these very difficult times?
