Proceeding contribution from Lord Freud (Conservative) 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
I thank the noble Lord for the question. I do not have the answer to this problem. It would be very nice if we did because it is a big problem. The point of the amendment is to require the Secretary of State to worry about and have strategies to deal with the problem as he goes about setting a strategy for the next decade. It would do no more than that and is not intended to.
