Proceeding contribution from Lord Skelmersdale (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 2 July 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

I cannot tell the noble Lord precisely what discussions have gone on thus far, but it is clear that there is time for some discussion between now and Report to try to identify the practical issues associated with the proposal. I re-emphasise that the Government are very sympathetic towards it. We want it to happen, but some practical and managerial issues clearly need to be addressed.
