Proceeding contribution from Lord Freud (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 14 February 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.
Welfare Reform Bill
I think that we will be discussing this a lot in the years to comeāit is not a dead issue. When you set up such a review, it generates its own momentum. Noble Lords know how powerful a review in this kind of area is. Once you have a review like this and the momentum that follows from it, something happens reasonably rapidly. I do not think that you have set it in absolute terms because it becomes an irresistible force. Therefore, I do not think that that is a concern. The exact nature of what we then do begs a lot of questions that we simply do not need to ask. However, with regard to how we carry out the review, the involvement of this House will be taken very much into account.
