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
In designing the pilot we have a duty to ensure that it is set up so as to provide good evidence on automatic payments, as well as protecting participants and spending taxpayers’ money wisely. We believe that a pilot of around three months in duration strikes an appropriate balance between being long enough to enable participants to experience an automatic payment while not being so long that they risk becoming reliant on it or the pilot becoming prohibitively expensive. Therefore, we believe that three months is about right.
