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, in a phrase, this Bill is about child poverty—that is its framework, that is what it is directed towards, that is the whole thrust of the debate that we have had. It is about child poverty; that should be clearly stated and be the title of the Bill.
