Proceeding contribution from Lord Freud (Conservative) 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

My Lords, before I launch into the amendment, I will take the opportunity to pick up on a comment the Minister made during the debate on the previous amendment and ask him to stop the peculiar habit into which he has fallen of stating our policies and, while doing so, carefully mis-stating them. It is a fantastical strategy that he has adopted in recent months.
