Proceeding contribution from Earl of Listowel (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 26 October 2011. It occurred during Committee proceeding and Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

Before the noble Baroness withdraws the amendment, I want to take this opportunity to thank the noble Lord, Lord Newton of Braintree, and the Minister for their very kind words. If praises are our wages in this House, I feel well paid today—I wish I were more worthy of what has been said. I am grateful to the Minister for his careful response. It is reassuring to be reminded how important it is to children and their success that their parents are in work. Shall I wind up?
