Proceeding contribution from Lord Northbourne (Crossbench) 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
Will the Minister clarify the point about the external providers? I have two questions. First, who carries the debts—the external provider or the Government? Secondly, what is the position of credit unions? Are they external providers? They have a very good record, I gather. Would it not make sense simply to give them more money as external providers?
