Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) 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
I am sorry to come back to this but there are still some unanswered questions. I do not think the noble Lord dealt with the definition of ““in-work”” and when the cap will apply. Is the threshold set at 16 hours, as it is for working tax credit at the moment? How will that change from April? I think for couples there is a joint requirement for 24 hours a week, rather than 16. How will that all work?
