Proceeding contribution from Lord Northbourne (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 21 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Child Poverty Bill.

Child Poverty Bill

Would the Minister agree that just because a particular outcome is not measurable, it does not make it less important than one that is measurable? In that context, I think that he probably agrees that it is important in this Bill to give an equal strength of importance to the important non-measurable outcomes as it is to the measurable ones.
