Proceeding contribution from Baroness Crawley (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

We understand the thrust of the arguments of the noble Baroness and the noble Countess, Lady Mar, but beyond the technical problem that accepting the amendment would give us, as it would restrict the effect on customers to the effect of this Bill, we believe that the charter would give us far more flexibility to deal with future circumstances if its profile was not in the Bill. We are certainly enthusiastic about having a charter, but not necessarily a legislative charter.
