Child Maintenance and Other Payments Bill

We might as well all go home. The debate has demonstrated that it is obviously essential that this new commission, CMEC, should make some of its own decisions for itself. However, I make the final point that, as demonstrated by the debate, leaving the commission in charge of the transition by itself is not safe. It is perfectly reasonable to get it to oversee and deploy the plan in the legislation, but we have had much bad experience of this transitional process. This is my final plea. I am encouraged by the Minister saying that he would think about the affirmative resolution procedure being used at parliamentary level, at least in the initial stages of this transfer. If we do not get this right, the organisation has no chance of success. It is carrying a package of legacy issues, which we all understand. However, the debate has been useful, even if it just demonstrates the complexity of the transfer process that we are facing. On that basis, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Clause 18 agreed to.
