Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) 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, I thank the noble Lord, Lord Northbourne, for speaking again to the amendment and the noble Lord, Lord Freud, for his questions. Perhaps I may truncate my reply. Having taken into consideration the views of noble Lords—and particularly the eloquence of the noble Lord, Lord Northbourne—and recognising the general strength of the argument, I am prepared to take the amendment away to consider whether we can ensure that the need for consultation with parents is made more explicit in the Bill. We would look to do this in relation to Clauses 9, 12 and 22.
