Proceeding contribution from Baroness Turner of Camden (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 27 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.


Welfare Reform Bill

I thank everybody who has participated in the debate, and my noble friend for the further assurances that he has given—in particular the assurance that apparently we are all thinking in the same direction and have the same objective. That is important, and I have registered it. I am grateful to the Minister for his comments. In the circumstances, I shall not press the amendment today. However, there will be a further opportunity at Third Reading when another amendment may be forthcoming. It may not be what we want, but I shall not press this amendment today. Although I still feel strongly about it, we ought to respect the research done by the Royal British Legion, the amount of work it has put into its campaign, and its belief that a name change would assist an enormous number of people. Although that is most important, at this time I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 63 withdrawn. Clause 31 : Relevant services Amendment 64 Clause 31 : Relevant services Amendment 64 Moved by
