Proceeding contribution from Lord Kirkwood of Kirkhope (Liberal Democrat) 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

I perfectly well understand that, and perhaps we are getting into too much difficulty. The Minister’s offer of a letter about data gateways and so on would be really helpful. It gets very detailed, and you need to think about it carefully. The new assessment procedures for the standards committee will, I hope, get published. I am not a conspiracy theorist; I do not think that this is an attempt to bury any important new standard method of calculating accuracy or squirrel it away out of the public domain. I assume that it will have the same exposure to the public gaze as the previous system, and if it has been refined and improved, I am in favour of that. I hope that we can get an assurance that it will be made public.
