Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) 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

If I may say so, it is the noble Lord who has missed the point. Nobody is saying that we should not look to learn lessons from what has happened to date—from what has worked and what has not. That is the whole purpose of how we are seeking to move forward on this. The noble Lord will know from the Peers’ information pack that a strategic direction paper will be published in the spring. The Child Poverty Unit is working on this.
