Welfare Reform Bill

The Equality and Human Rights Commission has written to me asking me to support these amendments, which I wholeheartedly do. The noble Lord will recall that at Question Time today we had a Question about the UN convention and ratifying it. The Equality and Human Rights Commission believes that this will be a very good move towards implementing that initiative. We would please the noble Lord, Lord Morris of Manchester, as well as the noble Baroness, Lady Campbell, by accepting her amendment.
