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
My Lords, before I comment on the amendment, I want to preface my remarks with two other points. First, I thank the Minister for giving an indication in our last debate that the word "mental" in terms of health might be looked at. I am grateful for that. Secondly, I would like to observe that we began to see a little bit of causation creeping into the Bill in the last set of amendments, some of which were government amendments, in terms of nutrition, so we are now beginning to look at what causes poverty rather than just the measurement of poverty—
