Proceeding contribution from Sheila Gilmore (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 15 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.
Welfare Reform Bill
We in Scotland have had four years' experience of the removal of ring-fencing, supposedly to free up local authorities. I would be interested to hear my hon. Friend's comments on our experience. Now that the ring fence has been removed, it is difficult to track what is happening to funds such as the supporting people fund, which give people valuable low-level support.
