Proceeding contribution from Countess of Mar (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 28 November 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

Let me get this absolutely clear. The department finds that there has been an error. Does it then tell the claimant that there has been an error, who says, ““Oh dear, I’ll put it right””, and that is it, or does the department say straightaway that it is negligence? Is there a step in the middle when it goes to the claimant?
