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

I thank the Minister for the points that he has made. He dealt with the rather interesting point that we have a Child Commission and a Child Poverty Commission. Given our interest in not having quite so many quangos—I think he mentioned 800—it might make some kind of sense to put these two together. We might be able to discuss that later.
