Welfare Reform Bill

I was suggesting that this should be included as a more general power, and therefore it could be taken out of the individual Acts of Parliament, such as that set up by my noble friend Lord Fowler on income support. I should still be grateful if the Minister would consider that. I am of course referring specifically to subsection (3). I have nothing further to add but, in the hope that the Minister will write to me, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Clause 16 agreed to. Clause 17 [Disqualification]: [Amendment No. 82 not moved.] Clause 17 agreed to. Clause 18 [Pilot schemes]: [Amendments Nos. 83 and 84 not moved.]
