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

The longer these debates go on, the more confused I am becoming. Clause 31(5) specifically excludes community care services as defined by the National Health Service and Community Care Act 1990. So, by definition, we are talking about different services. However, the Minister keeps referring to local authority services. Can he please explain which services are covered by this Bill and which are not?
