Proceeding contribution from Lord Skelmersdale (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 31 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Child Maintenance and Other Payments Bill.


Child Maintenance and Other Payments Bill

That is an extremely useful adjunct to what I was saying. As usual, the noble Baroness, being rather more fluent than I normally am, has put flesh on the bones of my argument. I do not think that we will get further with this proposal today. All sorts of inhibitions are built into the system preventing the voluntary arrangements working. I am all for them in theory, but I am doubtful about the practice.
