Proceeding contribution from Lord Skelmersdale (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 13 May 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Child Maintenance and Other Payments Bill.


Child Maintenance and Other Payments Bill

My Lords, as I am not a member of that committee, far be it from me to speak for it, but I am sure that it will be pleased—as is the whole House. The Minister has not seen fit to mess with its findings. I would say to any Minister—I hope that the noble Lord will pass this on and that the Whip is listening—that Ministers mess with the Select Committees of your Lordships’ House at their peril. I am glad that, yet again, the Minister has seen good sense.
