Proceeding contribution from Baroness Meacher (Crossbench) 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

Perhaps I may make a brief intervention to say that the point that we are trying to make is that an understanding of good parenting is absolutely critical to child poverty and, therefore, it is valid to make some reference to it in the Bill. We understand that there are lots of other laws and provisions, but that is the point that I hope the Minister will take into account when he concludes his remarks.
