Proceeding contribution from Baroness Lister of Burtersett (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 25 January 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.

Welfare Reform Bill

I am sorry to interrupt, but I also made a point about expertise born of experience. I sat on the Commission on Poverty, Participation and Power, half of whose members had experience of poverty. It was one of the most rewarding experiences of my career, because the insights of those with experience of poverty were such that I could not bring to the subject. Will the Government be open to such expertise?
