Clause 3 - Entitlement: special cases
Age-Related Payments Bill
10:00 am
Mr Malcolm Wicks (Minister for pensions, Department for Work and Pensions; Croydon North, Labour)
I recognise that there is a broad brush element to this, but the situations are not the same. I understand the hon. Gentleman's point, but if someone is living in their own dwelling, albeit with that
kind of support, most of the other living expenses are being paid by that elderly householder. That is not the case in the care home.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 3 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
