Proceeding contribution from Lord Wigley (Plaid Cymru) in the House of Lords on Monday, 21 November 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.


Welfare Reform Bill

The Minister said a moment ago that he was looking for the maximum degree of flexibility and not to have reviews where they were patently not necessary. Am I right in recalling that in the earlier debates he indicated that the first tier of any review might be with the professionals without impinging on the beneficiary so as not to cause unnecessary worry and that, if the professional—the GP or whoever—advised that there was no change, there would be no need at all for the beneficiary to be aware of this?
