Welfare Reform Bill

That would give us a chance to discuss this further to see whether any further clarification was needed by me or those outside; but that is a satisfactory answer. I hope my noble friend knows that we are just trying to get confirmation that this is the correct way forward. I agree with him: if it works or if it works well at least in parts—I suggest that the curate's egg and history tell us what we are getting and it is just a matter of the quality ofthe egg—we should be able to progress on that level. With that assurance, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendments Nos. 8 to 12 not moved.]
