Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) 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 start by thanking the noble Baroness, Lady Campbell, for moving this amendment, her strong leadership on this issue and her engagement with government. It is truly valued even if, on occasions, we will not see eye to eye. In that vein, I shall start off with a note of disagreement. The proposition that having 10 lawyers in a room provides 10 different answers is outwith my experience; it is usually 20.
