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

I am always happy to meet the noble Lord, but I must stress that this is not only about doing things to parents but about doing things with parents. We understand and share that aspiration. I do not believe that it needs to be expressed in those terms in the Bill, but let us have a meeting to see who can convince whom on that.
