Proceeding contribution from Lord Northbourne (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 22 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.


Welfare Reform Bill

My Lords, simply for information, Amendment 15 refers to a person under the age of 16 whereas some of the other amendments, such as Amendment 24, refer to the "well-being of any child". I understand a child to be any person under the age of 18, and I wonder what the reason is for the difference.
