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

It would be right to say ““if””. It is not contemplated, so far as I am aware, but if there were to be a fee related to late payment, I guess that that would have some sort of interest factor or penalty attached to it; but if the fee were for joining the scheme in the first place, it would not. We are not inevitably and only talking about a structure that would involve penalties or fines, to use the term used by the noble Lord. That should not be concluded from what I said.
