Bereavement Benefits

Lord Tomlinson Excerpts

Monday 11th June 2018 Lords Chamber

[Lord Tomlinson (Lab)]

In reply to an earlier question, the noble Baroness suggested that Brexit would make no difference to the circumstances that have been discussed. As the Minister responsible for Brexit has failed to give us clear answers on almost every aspect of Brexit, can she now spell out for us the specific basis on which she gave the House that assurance?

[Baroness Buscombe]

I thank the noble Lord for his question, as indeed I am advised that we cannot be absolutely sure, and I therefore apologise to the House for initially saying that.
