Proceeding contribution from Lord Freud (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 3 November 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

Stop teasing me. The noble Lord, Lord Beecham, made the point about VAT; there is clearly a missing element there, and I acknowledge that there is a difference between the gross and the net. I thought I had answered the point made by the noble Baroness, Lady Hayter, on talking to other departments. Yes, we are talking to BIS. As to the FT story: as you would expect me to say—it is something between, ““Pick the normal stuff””, ““I do not comment on press articles”” and, ““It is a matter for the uprating Statement””. Pick any one of those you want. I am not answering the question. [Laughter.]
