Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (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

I shall deal first with the amendment to the amendment. On the question the noble Lord, Lord Skelmersdale, poses—why the changes to housing benefit now, and have we changed our mind—the answer is no, we have not. It was simply an oversight and the Bill was not drafted as we wanted.
