Proceeding contribution from Oliver Heald (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 3 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Child Maintenance and Other Payments Bill.


Child Maintenance and Other Payments Bill

Even now, the Minister has not finally made up his mind as to whether it should be a Crown body. The point about amendment No. 2 is that he will review the matter again. We started off with an arm's length body without civil servants. Then we had the halfway house of having civil servants, but with it still being an arm's length body. Now the Government are agreeing to have another look at it in three years. Not only have they dithered, they propose to continue dithering for another three years.
