Proceeding contribution from Lord Skelmersdale (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

Before the Minister answers that question, something which the noble Baroness, Lady Hollis, said triggered a question in my mind. Let us say that the external provider is credit union X and is cash-limited, either per month or per year—it does not particularly matter. Surely it would be in a position to offer one of its normal interest-bearing loans once that budget had been reached. Is there anything in the provisions to prevent that?
