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

Is the noble Lord saying that, should the Bill achieve Royal Assent broadly on its current basis with those targets in it, given the opportunity—I do not think it fruitful to debate here whether it will get that opportunity—his party would change the measures of poverty and the targets? Or is he saying that he would accept them and would want some others as well?
