Proceeding contribution from Lord Freud (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 9 March 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Child Poverty Bill.


Child Poverty Bill

I thank the Minister for that question. At this stage, I do not have a specific strategy in the hypothetical situation of this amendment going through. I said earlier that the Child Poverty Commission could help enormously to work out the most effective ways of ensuring that the money gets to where it should go. I am sure that there is room for a great deal of thought and research into that question. As I said, this debate will continue in different ways and different forums but, on that basis and at this stage, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 5 withdrawn. Clause 6 : Interpretation of terms used in relation to targets Clause 6 : Interpretation of terms used in relation to targets Amendments 6 and 7 not moved. Amendment 8 Moved by
