Proceeding contribution from Lord Ramsbotham (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 12 December 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.
Welfare Reform Bill
I too apologise for not being here at the start. I just ask the Minister to reflect on the words of my company sergeant-major when the Army moved from weekly pay packets to bank accounts. He said, ““Thems that pays by the week lives by the week, but if you pay them by the month they will still live by the week””.
