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

I am grateful to the Minister. I rather suspected that this was a reformulation, or indeed a copy of previous legislation, but I had not appreciated that it went back to 1986. I have a feeling that since I joined the department only in June or July 1986, that particular Act of Parliament may not have been my responsibility, but I am sure there are others behind the Minister who will be able to confirm or confute that piece of information. As I expected, blood has been spat by the draftsmen, and possibly by several others, and as a result I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 133A (to Amendment 133) withdrawn. Amendment 133 agreed.
