Proceeding contribution from Lord Freud (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 23 January 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

We have looked at the human rights issues, putting particular emphasis on households with children and making sure that the arrangements are effective. I shall speak later about payments for children being earmarked. The structure of the universal credit means that it is an overall payment and that there are not different segments going for different purposes. That will simply not be practicable in the universal credit world whereas it is practicable in today’s benefit world. I ask the noble Lord to withdraw his amendment.
