Proceeding contribution from Countess of Mar (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 25 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Welfare Reform Bill.


Welfare Reform Bill

I am very eager to support my noble friend’s amendment. I know next to nothing about drug addiction. The noble Lord will be pleased to hear that I am not going to speak at length about it. The alarm bells were set ringing when the noble Baroness, Lady Meacher, mentioned precedents. I think immediately of CBT and graded exercises for ME sufferers. If one group is forced to take treatments, it is possible that another one will be. I would just ring the alarm bells.
