Child Poverty Bill

I am most grateful to the Minister. I drew the analogy because if we cannot find ways to help the poor—and poor children in particular—then that is the bill we will face in 2020. That is the point. It is the context in which one starts to look at interventions. If one does not have effective interventions then that is the bill at the end of the road. That is the reason I used the juxtaposition. As I said, this is an important issue. That is why I raised it as an amendment. In light of the response, I beg leave to withdraw it. Amendment 17 withdrawn. Amendment 18 not moved. Amendments 19 to 20 not moved. Clause 9 : Provision of advice by Commission and consultation with others Clause 9 : Provision of advice by Commission and consultation with others Amendment 21 not moved. Amendment 22 Moved by
