Proceeding contribution from Lord Skelmersdale (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 29 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Child Maintenance and Other Payments Bill.


Child Maintenance and Other Payments Bill

Yes. I obviously did not explain myself very well. Of course it marks a change from the past. What evidence does the Minister have that the fact that people do not have to use the new organisation will make it any more acceptable? There will still be a vast number of people who use it—and, if he is right, who choose to use it. That has to happen fairly and with a level of acceptance. The fact that people do not have to use it makes no difference to those who are using it, and indeed who have been using the CSA until now and will be carried on through the system.
