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

Before the Minister answers that point, surely the problem is that the word ““maintenance”” is interpreted throughout the system, by the noble Lord and by the Acts we have had up to now, as financial maintenance—and the buck stops there. What the noble Baroness and the noble Lord, Lord Northbourne, are after is to have a very much wider definition of maintenance, and I remain convinced that they are right.
