Welfare Reform Bill

My Lords, I am not sure. We have not established the exact arrangements about how that will work at this stage. I will let the noble Lord know when we have them elaborated. I hope the noble Baroness, Lady Hollis, will agree with the necessity of controlling the level of rents paid, both to limit rises in benefit expenditure and to avoid trapping claimants in the benefits system. I further hope that she will agree that the safeguards that I have outlined are sufficient. For these reasons I urge the noble Baroness to withdraw the amendment.
