Proceeding contribution from Baroness Howe of Idlicote (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 11 January 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

My Lords, I remember there being considerable concern in this area upstairs in Committee. Having listened to what the noble Baronesses, Lady Lister and Lady Turner, said, in particular about the plan in the amendment tabled by the noble Baroness, Lady Lister, I think that there is a way of dealing with the situation. Some of the problems of exactly how it will be spread out and all the rest of it might need a little more administrative attention, but I think this is a satisfactory answer about what to do with this sum of money. I would back it like that. Let us end the argument.
