Proceeding contribution from Lord Freud (Conservative) 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

I have several amendments on the figures, but this is about the threshold. Another amendment looks at how the figure of 60 per cent is derived and why, so this amendment asks about the sensible threshold to aim for and why this particular threshold has been selected. I should have said, "I beg to move", and I apologise for the oversight.
