What next?

 

The regulations were due to be placed before the two houses of Parliament before the summer recess of 2008. They have now been delayed. The regulations must be approved by both houses.

 

Why not Lobby a Lord?

 

If you lobby a Lord on the Lone Parent or welfare reform issue, please let us know.
