Proceeding contribution from Baroness Thomas of Winchester (Liberal Democrat) 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, when the noble Lord moved the amendment on non-financial targets he took up three and a half columns of Hansard. Although he spoke for only two minutes at the end, we had a full debate. This amendment should have been debated with the other one and I do not propose to repeat what I said then. This is an arbitrary list calling for statistics that would be difficult to collect.
