Proceeding contribution from Earl of Listowel (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 8 February 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Child Poverty Bill.


Child Poverty Bill

My Lords, the Minister talked about what the Government are doing in terms of interventions for families where substance misuse is an issue. Is he aware of the Family Drug and Alcohol Court at the Inner London Family Proceedings Court developed by District Judge Crichton? Will he consider the funding of that court and perhaps write to me with reassurance that all that can be done is being done to ensure the continued success of that initiative?
