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 thank the Minister very much for his response. Certainly, the idea was that this amendment should be cost-neutral and a redistribution between the support group benefits and this benefit. There will obviously be significant losers in this; child carers will certainly be among them. I do not envisage local authorities picking up the tab in the years ahead. There are very real concerns but, at this time of night, I must accept the Minister’s response and withdraw the amendment. Amendment 21A withdrawn. Clause 13 : Work-related requirements: introductory Clause 13 : Work-related requirements: introductory Amendment 22 not moved. Clause 15 : Work-focused interview requirement Amendment 23 Clause 15 : Work-focused interview requirement Amendment 23 Moved by
