Proceeding contribution from Lord Lyell of Markyate (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 27 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.
Welfare Reform Bill
My Lords, I, too, come lately to this issue, but I have been listening to the argument. The argument for finding protection for the mother and child in these circumstances seems to be absolutely overwhelming and, if that can be evaded simply by the fact of registration, we need to do something about it. I agree with my noble friend that it is a challenge to the Government but, if they cannot bring forward a better way, I shall certainly support the amendment.
