Proceeding contribution from Baroness Walmsley (Liberal Democrat) 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

I accept that the Government are not precluding the commission from consulting children. Indeed, I hope that, should I not be successful in getting this into the Bill, they will allow it to do so. I thank the Minister for what he said about whether it should be put into the terms of reference that the commission should consult children directly. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 18 withdrawn. Clause 7 agreed. Schedule 1 : The Child Poverty Commission Amendment 19 Schedule 1 : The Child Poverty Commission Amendment 19 Moved by
