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

Thank you again. I am arguing that the Minister has placed a great deal of weight on the word "socio-economic"; I cannot see that it carries any weight in a legal context because it is an undefined word. I may have been misinformed and, if so, I would be willing to hear the legal definition of "socio-economic". What does it mean here? That is the question.
