Proceeding contribution from Bishop of Blackburn (Bishops (affiliation)) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 20 October 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Comprehensive Spending Review.

Comprehensive Spending Review

My Lords, very many of us are eager to see the big society, with its vision of neighbourliness, prevail. Neighbourliness requires a particular care for children, who are a gift and not a commodity, and for poorer families. Given that many children and poorer families will be badly affected by the reduction in benefits, can the Minister tell us where this lost support may be found in the future for children and poorer families?
