Proceeding contribution from Lord Skelmersdale (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 7 July 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

Before the noble Lord, Lord Northbourne, responds, I admit to a failure both by me and the Minister. I remember very well the satirists Flanders and Swann and their sketch about Wimbledon in which there was the line: ""But here sits a figure one always forgets. The Umpire ... upon whom ... the sun ... never sets!"." The Minister and I omitted to thank the various Deputy Chairmen who have steered our proceedings so well.
