Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hollis of Heigham (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 23 November 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.


Welfare Reform Bill

Some of the Minister’s common phrases are ““soon”” and ““very soon”” and we are beginning to decode them. Another one is about the possibility of discretionary housing allowance being extended to plug all possible gaps in the system, and we have had some discussion on that. It would be very helpful if he could circulate a paper to us on all the areas where he has assured us that there are going to be transitional arrangements so that we can see what they will look like.
