Welfare Reform Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Freud (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 24 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.
I think that I am safe in confirming to the noble Lord that we are bringing in capital limits. They are related to the housing issue, although I think that my colleague Chris Grayling said that they will be at a substantially higher level than those for universal credit. The noble Lord also probed the issue of people where no work conditionality is imposed. Clearly, within universal credit, other additions are going on. It is not a straight comparison. Under universal credit, the other person is likely to have a series of additions as well, so the imbalance is nothing like as great as the simple one.
