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

I am grateful for the point that the noble Lord is making. I want to make absolutely clear what I am saying. What are valuable to children are stable, committed relationships. Unstable, uncommitted, difficult relationships are clearly not in the category to support. We are not even supporting the desirable relationships at the moment. That is the point that I was trying to drive home.
