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


Child Maintenance and Other Payments Bill

We will write to the noble Baroness. We will rack our brains to try to give a broader range of appropriate examples. At the end of the day, no list has been drawn up and it will depend on the commission. Quite rightly, it would largely focus on government departments because of the importance of cross-government work in this area. I mentioned the engagement with Northern Ireland. Child support arrangements are dealt with separately in Northern Ireland, but work is provided there on behalf, particularly, of the eastern region of the CSA. There is access to the systems of the CSA, and that might be one example. However, I do not think that that would be a public body, but a government department. I shall write to Members of the Committee and we shall see if we can produce some clarity on that.
