Welfare Reform Bill

Baroness McIntosh of Hudnall Excerpts

Wednesday 16th November 2011 Grand Committee

[Lord McKenzie of Luton]

I am grateful to the Minister for that statement; I take a degree of comfort from it. It is a pity that he cannot speak definitively, because that might have truncated some of our discussion. Notwithstanding what he said, I will deliver my script—or bits of it, anyway—because others want to contribute to the debate. Do the Government accept the conclusions of the report by the noble Lord, Lord Low?

[The Deputy Chairman of Committees (Baroness McIntosh of Hudnall)]

My Lords, I am sorry to interrupt but before a debate begins the amendment needs to be proposed.

[Lord McKenzie of Luton]

In which case, I beg to move Amendment 86DD.
