Welfare Reform Bill

Debate between Baroness Thomas of Winchester and Lord Foulkes of Cumnock

Tuesday 18th October 2011 Grand Committee

[Lord Foulkes of Cumnock]

I have still not had the answer to my question. I do not want him to repeat it, just to clarify it. It was the pronunciation of hwyl I had problems with, not the spelling.

For all his bluster and eloquence, I think the noble Lord has confirmed that he still supports the coalition Government’s dreadful proposals in the Bill. All his questions to the Minister are really just to cover up that fact.

[Baroness Thomas of Winchester]

The noble Lord, Lord Foulkes, is bullying my noble friend, which is outrageous. My noble friend is exploring the issues around this question, which is perfectly valid in Committee.
