Proceeding contribution from Countess of Mar (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 27 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.


Welfare Reform Bill

My Lords, perhaps I may ask the noble Lord what the difference is between changing the name of this benefit and the name changes that have occurred with other benefits—sickness benefit right through to employment support allowance, and unemployment benefit right through to jobseeker’s allowance. How have those name changes taken place and what is the difference between changing their names and changing this name?
