Accountability · outcome beside Green Book evidence
Welfare Benefits Up-rating Act 2013 became law. The official papers we read left large gaps across the Green Book five cases. For accountability, the parliamentary outcome sits beside a thin published evidence trail — that is a scrutiny signal, not a verdict.

Economic: Gap — The papers we read for this bill do not give a figure in pounds for what it would cost or save. That is not a yes or no on the bill.
Commercial: Gap — The papers we read for this bill do not say how this would be bought, contracted or put in place.
Financial: Gap — The papers we read for this bill do not say who would pay for it, or where the money would come from.
Management: Gap — The papers we read for this bill do not say who would be in charge of running it.
This is an accountability reading, not a recommendation and not a score. It does not say whether Parliament should have passed or rejected the bill. It only sets the actual parliamentary outcome beside how complete the Green Book five-case evidence was in the official papers.
These UK Acts sit in a similar policy space and are already law. Pairing uses this proposal’s official papers (and the plain-English note themes). It is not a verdict that the proposal is redundant or unnecessary.
