Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 13 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.
Welfare Reform Bill
It would be a first. There is a real point here, particularly because universal credit has to cover all these circumstances. Even if we had equivalent levels of benefit under a split system, at least there would be the prospect of different levels of benefit; that does not really apply to universal credit. For all the good things that could come from universal credit, difficulties come with it and the noble Lord, Lord Kirkwood, has certainly identified one by generating the debate, which has been quite powerful.
