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

Welfare Reform Bill

I apologise for interrupting again, but £4 billion is surely a tiny amount relative to the losses in projected benefits. This huge budget would normally go up very extensively each year, would it not? I do not have all the numbers in my head, but £4 billion in a tiny fraction of the actual real losses in benefit that people are going to face.
