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

Regrettably, my Lords, I cannot give that kind of assurance. My understanding is that the reconsideration will be done in the next year or so, so it may happen before the move to universal credit. I simply do not have control of the slightly murky processes by which changes are made to indices. They are a black art and completely impervious to any external influence. Given my reassurances on these points, I ask the noble Lord to withdraw his amendment.
