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

My Lords, I have not suggested in my amendment that the title of the Bill should not reflect child poverty; I have left the words ““child poverty”” in there. What I have done to produce a title that slightly more realistically represents the balance of the Bill is put ““household income”” before ““child poverty””, but I would be happy to put it the other way around if the Minister preferred. Why is he not prepared to accept the fact that the Bill is about household income?
