Proceeding contribution from Lord Freud (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 24 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

My Lords, there is a simple answer to that. You start off on a journey thinking that there are eight steps, which you might write down. If it is a formalised process and you decide after three weeks that, ““Actually, I do not need to do these two steps or I need to add another two””, you might change it. You might change it weekly, as people change. If we have an overformalised process, we just make that in management terms impossible and very expensive. I would resist it on those principles.
