Proceeding contribution from Lord Northbourne (Crossbench) 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 point of my intervention is that this does not seem to be at all different from money that I owe to a shop or to the bank; it is simply a debt that that person owes, and it should be dealt with within the existing law that relates to indebtedness, where eventually you end up in prison.
