Clause 6
Welfare Reform Bill
9:45 am
Tim Boswell (Shadow Minister, Work & Pensions; Daventry, Conservative)
I shall be even briefer. The provision is entirely sensible. I have looked at the explanatory notes and the helpful graphs, and my feeble mind concludes that the Government intend—I hope—to give people the best outcome from the income-related and contribution-related allowances. The better sum will come out on top, and if necessary, one will be made up to the other, as the graphs indicate. If the Under-Secretary will confirm that conclusion, we need detain the Committee no longer.
