Welfare Reform Bill

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Meacher (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 11 January 2012. It occurred during Debate on bills on Welfare Reform Bill.
My understanding is that many of these people may receive some income-related benefit but not at the same level of the contributory benefit that they would receive under the amendment. My second point is that the Minister has frequently referred to the £4 billion addition in the Welfare Reform Bill: is that a monetary addition rather than a real-terms addition because surely in real terms there will be a considerable drop in the overall welfare reform cost under the Bill?
