Proceeding contribution from Lord Skelmersdale (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 5 February 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Child Maintenance and Other Payments Bill.


Child Maintenance and Other Payments Bill

moved Amendment No. 84: 84: Clause 16, page 7, line 35, at end insert— ““( ) No application may be made at any time under this section with respect to a qualifying child or any qualifying children if there is in force a maintenance order in respect of that child or those children and the person who is, at that time, the non-resident parent.”” The noble Lord said: I begin with an apology to the Committee on this amendment, as not only is it in the wrong place but it is also in the wrong words, which does not help either advisers or participants in the Committee to understand what on earth I am on about. So I shall try again. A suggested place would be after Clause 16; in Section 4 of the Child Support Act 1991, subsection (10) should be deleted and substituted as follows: "““No application may be made at any time under this section with respect to a qualifying child or any qualifying children if there is in force a maintenance order in respect of that child or those children and the person who is, at that time, the non-resident parent””." Would the Minister like me to repeat those details?
