Proceeding contribution from Lord Boswell of Aynho (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 11 January 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

I am most grateful to my noble friend for allowing me to intervene. Having listened to the debate this afternoon, does he not acknowledge that whereas the previous amendment, which was supported by noble Lords, was in comparative terms a relatively small matter of cost, this is of a different level and magnitude of costs—at least 10 times as great? Whatever might have been said about the previous amendment being comparatively trivial, this could not be possibly be so described.
