Welfare Reform Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Touhig (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 14 November 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.
Make hay, my Lords? Some of the poorest people in this country have been denied the support they are entitled to. Is it true at 3.40 on a Monday afternoon we have a government Minister coming to Parliament and saying they are going to be denied the money that Parliament says they should have? Is that the case? Let us have a straight yes or no. Will these people get the money the law says they should have if we agree this amendment today?
