Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) 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

It seems to me that it could be. We want children to grow up in stable family households, but that does not necessarily mean households where there are two partners or two partners who are married. We want them to have a stable life where they can flourish. It is one of those terms which is easier to identify when it is not present rather than when it is.
