Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) 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

It depends. The noble Lord asserts that we are raising the school-leaving age—I am not sure whether he put it quite in those terms—but that is not quite what is proposed. The Government are looking at a range of measures to encourage people to stay at school or to go into some sort of training or further or higher education. There has been a recent amendment to increase the age to 20 as regards child benefit. I am looking for support at the back.
