Welfare Reform Bill

That is all very helpful. Of course, I am the first to agree that where we are talking about capital items such as white goods or whatever, the individual item should last for a number of years and, in this day and age, use the lowest possible amount of electricity. These sorts of things fit into the idea of quality and I am 100 per cent for that. I am also, as I said in my opening remarks, satisfied that the intention has always been that the grant should be spent on the item that is applied for, with or without the services. However, the noble Baroness has not answered the following question. Although I accept that vouchers would not be appropriate in every case, would they ever be appropriate? It would be helpful to have the answer to that question before I carry on.
