Proceeding contribution from Lord Wigley (Plaid Cymru) 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 will not overegg this, but say that the second and third child are twins. There will be a ceiling on how much is available, but the cost of looking after twins is more than the cost of looking after a child who may be two years older than the younger and is more responsible. One almost needs two sets of eyes to keep them under control.
