Proceeding contribution from Lord Goodlad (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 2 July 2009. It occurred during Committee proceeding and Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

The Minister echoes what I have just said: the Bill proposes an administrative procedure costing a vast amount of money, followed by a right of appeal. It would be much quicker and cheaper for the court to have a look at the thing first, rather than having two or maybe three procedures. The idea of that being resource-intensive is beyond question. I am most grateful to the Minister for his reply, which we shall of course scrutinise in detail, along with what has been said by my noble friend Lord Skelmersdale. We will return to the matter on Report. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 174A withdrawn. Amendments 174B to 174F not moved. Clause 42 agreed. Amendment 174G not moved. Schedule 5 agreed.
