Welfare Reform Bill

Debate between Lord Wigley and Lord Rix

Monday 21st November 2011 Grand Committee

[Lord Wigley]

My Lords, as my fire has been taken away from me by the Minister, perhaps I may at least be allowed to say thank you. In consideration of this matter—and obviously consideration can come to a positive outcome, but not necessarily—the one initial fact that I would ask the Minister to take on board is that other circumstances can change in parallel with this—the general economy and other legislation—which may make it beneficial for reviews to take place more frequently. However, I will not press an open door.

[Lord Rix]

My Lords, I will manage to cut things short by saying that I am very grateful to the Minister. I trust that it will all come to pass and I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
