Proceeding contribution from Lord Freud (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 25 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Child Poverty Bill.

Child Poverty Bill

If one were to ask most voters whether they would prefer to hit the child poverty target or to be number one in child well-being in the rich world, I think the majority would choose the latter. People would like to see us leading on child well-being and would see child poverty as secondary to that. This amendment is designed to make sure that we focus on what I say we really want, which is child well-being. I beg to move.
