Proceeding contribution from Lord McAvoy (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 6 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

Before the Minister passes on to the next issue—that may have been a Freudian slip—he has charmingly used the words ““soon”” and ““very soon”” to, quite frankly, parry requests for a wee bit more detail on timing. Can he give us an idea whether the assessments that he keeps referring to are operating at a normal pace? Is there an expectation about how long that should take? Are these assessments that we are waiting on taking longer than he would expect?
