Proceeding contribution from Baroness Meacher (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 1 November 2011. It occurred during Committee proceeding and Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.


Welfare Reform Bill

Again, will there be flexibility within the legislation? As the Minister said, if the Government pilot this and find that the taxpayer is losing more money because fewer of these second earners go out to work, he will want to introduce a second disregard. Will there be the flexibility within the legislation to enable the Government to do that?
