Proceeding contribution from Baroness Afshar (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 19 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Child Poverty Bill.

Child Poverty Bill

My Lords, perhaps I may add that, particularly in areas with dense immigration and population, the level of poverty is such that there is always a tendency to divert resources from one good provision to another. Therefore, if new provisions are made—and I very much hope that they will be—existing provisions must not be threatened by trying to move the same money around various provisions.
