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
No, my Lords. The department has an international wing that monitors this matter very closely and is on top of it. It has lawyers and also takes advice from lawyers—although formally I am not allowed to say that we ever consult lawyers internally for advice. I think that is the position. All I can say is that there are many ramifications to this. I am not playing games. I am quite worried about the implications for our whole benefits system.
