Welfare Reform Bill

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hayter of Kentish Town (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 14 December 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills on Welfare Reform Bill.
My Lords, if I understand the Minister correctly, he is saying that this is all part of getting people off benefits and into work, which we absolutely support. However, this will also cover those people who are never going to work—those in the support group—as well as people with young children who are not in work for some time. Therefore, we are not talking only about people who are on the cusp; even those people will lose the right to have their rent paid directly.
