Monday the 5th of December will see the Welfare Reform Bill on it's 10th of a scheduled 14days of scrutiny by the House of Lords, http://services.parliament.uk/bills/2010-11/healthandsocialcare.html On Wednesday, Baroness Thornton will ask the Secretary of State to reconsider his decision to withhold information contained in a Transition Risk Register, so it can be taken into account during the passage of the Bill.

I don't understand how capping benefits to £26,000 is going to help the poor souls who are getting over £100,000 rent paid for them in London. How are they going to survive??
