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 apologise for interrupting the noble Lord again. To pick up on one point raised by the noble Baroness, Lady Meacher, the issue can come before the court. The individual can appeal to the magistrates’ court or the sheriff’s court, and that appeal will itself put a stop on the administrative action. There is nothing to stop an individual, if they feel that they are being unfairly treated, having their day in court.
