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

As the noble Baroness, Lady Thomas, has indicated, she suspects that her fox may have been shot. We are in sympathy with the direction of the amendment. It tries to isolate particular groups of children who are at risk of deprivation as a way of balancing out the financial targets, which, as noble Lords are aware, is our concern with the Bill. I hope that the amendment mentioned by the Minister can satisfy this concern and I will be looking closely at it when it comes.
