Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) 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

That is not an unreasonable summary. If we did not have to have regard to realities, the constraints of systems and people’s behaviour, one could have a much more intellectually perfect system of what was included and excluded. Experience shows us that that is not the right way to go. At the heart of all this, we must have effective arrangements to ensure that the money goes to support children.
