Lord Davies of Gower (Con)
The noble Lord will know that the Government are currently considering that very point. I am sure that we will have an answer for him in due course.
Baroness Walmsley (LD)
My Lords, does the Minister accept that when a person on benefits walks into the shop, her ability to put food on the family’s table depends on the price of the goods on the shelf and not the salary of the shop manager? Surely the suggestion is complete nonsense.
Lord Davies of Gower (Con)
The noble Baroness has made a very fair point. I cannot say that I disagree with her.
