Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) 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 have two points. The noble Lord presses me, but it genuinely is for the commission to develop the business model. That is why we are going down this route. If it planned to do something that the Government thought was outrageous, the protections are in the directions and guidance that we talked about earlier. At this stage, it has genuinely not been fully developed; it has not been developed to any greater sense that I, as a Minister, have been engaged in. I will take the opportunity to save myself or officials writing; a public body, for example, might be CAFCASS, which could in theory work with the commission to reach separating families. That is one example; I am sure there are others. I hope that helps to clarify what we are thinking about.
