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

Welfare Reform Bill

I apologise for interrupting the Minister. How does he feel that that will work if the partner into whose bank account the money is paid is an alcoholic and likes to spend most of the money, on a Friday or whenever it is, on alcohol, or a gambler, or somebody with mental health problems who is controlling and dominant and therefore gets the money paid into their account?
