Welfare Reform Bill

I thank my noble friend, as I do the noble Lord, Lord Skelmersdale, for his intervention, which I welcome. So far as concerns the response of my noble friend, I shall certainly watch to see what happens on Report and will undoubtedly bring this issue back if there is nothing on the agenda on which we can vote at that stage. In the mean time, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment Amendment 161A withdrawn. Clauses 29 and 30 agreed.
