Proceeding contribution from Lord Kirkwood of Kirkhope (Liberal Democrat) 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
I do not think that takes us any further. Regulations could make the situation clearer by taking careful account of the circumstances in which the advice might go forward. I perfectly well understand that the commission may want to have some say—once it gets formed—about some of these things and perhaps, on this occasion, Parliament should not second-guess how it would play different circumstances and different definitions. I still think these are important words. There is still a lot of flexibility in how they may be implemented, and that is still a cause for concern. We will look carefully again at what the Minister said. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Clause 2 agreed to.
