Welfare Reform Bill

With the five-bedroom cap, the Government did not follow the committee’s recommendations. That has been the case several times in the recent past. As a member of the Merits Committee I am in a good position to know these things. However, the Minister has at least assured us of the amendment on Report. For that, I am grateful. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 80 withdrawn. Amendments 81 and 82 not moved.
