Proceeding contribution from Baroness Lister of Burtersett (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 10 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

I am very grateful to the noble Lord, who perhaps I could call a noble friend from the past. Being new to this House, I perhaps do not understand the nuances of ministerial speech as well as some of my noble friends. I hope that the noble Lord, Lord Newton, is correct, but it does not change the point that people outside who are watching our proceedings also do not understand these nuances, so we need to have something much firmer before Report if we are to accept the Minister’s assurances. That said, I will withdraw the amendment. Amendment 25 withdrawn. Amendments 26 to 28 not moved. Clause 7 agreed.
