Welfare Reform Bill

My Lords, I thank my noble friend for that assurance. I have made a careful note of it because it is very important: people will only be affected where there is already appropriate alternative means of support. That is a crucial element as regards my amendments and that is why I wanted a very full examination to ensure that that happened before this was preceded with and the order was produced. In view of what my noble friend has said, for which I am very grateful, I am happy to beg leave to withdraw the amendment and I shall not move Amendment 31. Amendment 30 withdrawn. Amendment 31 not moved.
