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

Welfare Reform Bill

Perhaps I may make the position clear. The difference between us is that we would not want this in the Bill but the substance of what we are trying to do matches what the noble Lord is looking for. I am not in a position to offer anything further for Third Reading. I am, however, very willing to see him personally—and any groups he wants as well—to discuss this matter when we move into the spring period to make sure that we get it absolutely right. We are anyway having full consultation, but I am absolutely prepared to commit to looking at this so that the detailed regulations are acceptable.
