Proceeding contribution from Lord Freud (Conservative) 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

I hope that I am answering this right and that I have not missed some subtle point, but if there are two twins they will be treated as two children. Does the noble Lord mean two sets? No, one set of twins will be treated as two children and therefore the £300 rate would apply, not the £175.
