Proceeding contribution from Lord Freud (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 20 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.


Welfare Reform Bill

It might help the noble Baroness if we clear up the meaning of the language here. When you reconsider something—if you can reconsider it—you need to look at the information that will allow you to reconsider it. Reconsideration implies that you change something. I do not think there is a difference between what we are talking about. I have said that we will look at this matter very closely at that period and, if necessary, we will be able reconsider it. I am trying to say to the noble Baroness that we are doing what she wants. It may not be in the exact format that she wants, but I have essentially assured her of a process that satisfies her amendment.
