Proceeding contribution from Baroness Gardner of Parkes (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 17 January 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.


Welfare Reform Bill

My Lords, I support the amendment. I have raised this issue with the Minister in private in the past. Many people on the existing benefit have used the money to increase their possibility of living normally by putting it towards aids or adaptations, and it would be very wrong if they were disadvantaged because of that.
