Welfare Reform and Work Bill

I thank the noble Baroness. I think that the comments of Lord Justice Carnwath are what the lawyers would call obiter dicta—they did not go to the heart of the judgment. He was making an observation that it might be nice if the Government considered it, but there was no suggestion that the Government’s action in imposing the benefits cap was

somehow contrary to the European Human Rights Act because we had failed to look after the interests of the child, as set down in the UNCRC.
