Proceeding contribution from Baroness Meacher (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 31 January 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.


Welfare Reform Bill

My Lords, Amendment 1 seeks to ensure that the gap between the higher and normal-rate additions for disabled children is not too great. The Government’s proposals for these additions, according to the Minister, are designed to be revenue neutral. The money saved is to be used to raise the level of income for adults in the support group.
