Proceeding contribution from Lord Northbourne (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

I support the noble Lord, Lord Kirkwood, in what he has said. I also support the noble Lord, Lord Freud, not in his amendment but in his desire to know which Secretary of State will be involved. Am I right about this? It sounds daft, but is it not between the Secretary of State for Children and Families on the one hand and the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions on the other? Obviously, the outcomes will be totally different. It is frightfully important that the Secretary of State who is dealing with this knows something about the problems of children and families.
