Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hollis of Heigham (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 14 December 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.


Welfare Reform Bill

My Lords, I am sorry to press this, but I understood that when the noble Lord, Lord Best, moved his original amendment, he accepted the additional amendments in the group as amendments to his amendment. He did this to ensure that his original intent regarding the one spare bedroom was modified by the extent to which there was available accommodation. If there was not, his standard would apply, but if there was, we would expect the tenant in due course to move. That was the debate.
