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

This amendment was suggested by the Law Society of Scotland. Simply, it pointed out that existing work on child poverty is ongoing between the devolved Administrations in the Four Nations Forum on Child Poverty. I hope that the Minister will be able to reassure us that, rather than our reinventing the wheel, the forum’s work will play an important role in the co-ordination of all the different strategies to be produced under the Bill. I beg to move.
