Welfare Reform Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Freud (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 18 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.
My Lords, it was interesting that there was a range of responses to our survey. Different people will do different things depending on the circumstances. That is the point. That is the problem with all the broadly defined exemptions that we have discussed today, which we have explored in great detail in the department: none of them works to define eloquently and adequately the people whom we want to protect. We need other ways to do that. I know that people like to attack the Treasury on every conceivable opportunity—
