Proceeding contribution from Lord Freud (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 27 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Child Poverty Bill.


Child Poverty Bill

Yes, I am pleased to answer that. The skills of parents are general skills; as I read it, they refer to the general level of education and skills of people who happen to be parents. Parenting skills are directly related to the relationship between the parent and child and the parent’s ability to look after the child to the highest possible level.
