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

All social security law applies across the whole of the United Kingdom, even though individual bits of legislation might be slightly different in the various parts thereof. I can only assume that an eagle-eyed official spotted that the Bill would be pretty ineffective in Wales if the changes were not made, so the noble Lords who want to see the reforms work in the Principality—I firmly include myself in that number—owe a vote of thanks. Can we be satisfied that Scotland is fully covered?
