Social Welfare Bill 2006: Committee and Remaining Stages
12:00 pm

In Spain, the Netherlands and Portugal two days is transferred and in Greece one day. In most cases there is not a cash benefit but some other kind of benefit or allowance. The picture is somewhat unclear around Europe. We will keep the matter under review. We would need to ask that group to consider again what is possible because all the issues I mentioned, including the costs, would be factors.
