Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 12 December 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

My Lords, we support this amendment, and consider, as my noble friend Baroness Hollis does, that council tax benefit should be dealt with as part of the universal credit. My noble friend delivered a devastating critique of the proposal in Committee and has done so again today. Indeed, I thought I saw the Minister nod in approval at one stage. If he did not nod in approval at my noble friend, perhaps he did for the contribution of the noble Lord, Lord Newton.
