Welfare Reform Bill

The noble Baroness yet again took the words out of my mouth. Before withdrawing the amendment, I was going to ask that the draftsman revisits paragraph 3(b). Although I am not a lawyer, I have a sneaking affinity with the drafting of Bills, and I do not think that the paragraph totally affirms the Minister’s statements on this. However, as he has very sensibly offered to take it away and look at it again, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 99 withdrawn. Amendments 100 to 115 withdrawn. Schedule 3 agreed. Clause 10 : Conditions for contributory jobseeker's allowance Amendments 116 to 118 not moved. Clause 10 agreed. Clause 11 : Conditions for contributory employment and support allowance Amendments 119 to 122 not moved. Clause 11 agreed. Clause 12 agreed.
