Proceeding contribution from James Purnell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 10 December 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Welfare Reform.
Welfare Reform
I can indeed give the hon. Lady that reassurance, because there are no child maintenance payments where the parents stay together. If money is being paid, it is right that it should go to the children. That is the right thing to do and it has been widely supported by organisations that represent poor children.
