Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) 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

Let me say first that nobody is seeking to dodge this issue. The point I have been trying to make is that the extremely valid and powerful points that have been made are effectively already encompassed in the framework of the Bill. They should be addressed as part of the strategies and nothing needs to change in the wording of the Bill for that to happen. That is the import of the Government’s response on this. We are not saying that it is not important; of course it is.
