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

Welfare Reform Bill

Obviously it would have been preferable if the Minister had said unequivocally that this matter will not be left to local discretion, but it is clear that I am not going to get that reassurance. However, the noble Lord has said quite a lot on record that he is committed to trying to resolve the needs of this particular group. Perhaps I may borrow a phrase from the noble Lord, Lord Newton, in a previous debate: I will hold the Minister’s feet to the fire on this issue. On that basis, I agree to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 60B withdrawn. Amendment 61 not moved. Amendment 61ZA had been retabled as Amendment 58D. Amendments 61ZB to 61A not moved. Clause 98 : Payments to joint claimants Amendment 61B Clause 98 : Payments to joint claimants Amendment 61B Moved by
