This amendment is the last in the series and is, I hope, equally short.
Some dozen years ago, with the help of my noble friends Lady Dean and Lady Turner, we established pension-sharing on divorce. For many couples then, the man’s pension, especially his occupational pension—and it was usually his—was more...

My Lords, it is with some regret that I have not sought to remove the presumption from the wording of Clause 11, although I still think it is unfortunate. I recognise the good intentions of the Government and their genuine desire to involve both parents, and more often the father,...

I hope that the noble Baroness takes what she has said to heart; what I am trying to avoid is replacing one perception with another. There is equal danger that, after a debate such as this, another perception gets flagged. What I want is to emphasise what is in the...

My Lords, this amendment relates to Clause 108. For the purposes of the new criminal offence of forced marriage, the Bill has adopted the definition of marriage found in the Forced Marriage (Civil Protection) Act, which states that.
“‘marriage’” means any religious or civil ceremony of marriage (whether or not legally...

Sheila Gilmore:
One of the main objectives of the Innovation Fund is to learn what works in helping separated parents to work together in the best interests of their children. Robust evaluation is, therefore, critical and we have set aside funding to ensure this is carried out effectively. At present, all of the projects commissioned in the first round are in the early stages of implementation, with some not yet working with clients. Although we have started to monitor outcomes where projects have begun working with clients, and we have found some very positive case studies, we do not expect to have robust evidence until next year, after which we will publish formal evaluation results. This evaluation will include the number and gender of parents assisted by the projects.

I refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave to his previous question number 155876, on 20 May 2013, Official Report, column 543W.
On 20 May we announced the next steps in reforming the child maintenance system in a way that incentivises separated parents to collaborate in the interests of their children, available at:

This is supported by up to £20 million of investment in the Help and Support for Separated Families initiative. So far, we have awarded £6.5 million to seven organisations, to provide 280,000 families with assistance, which we will carefully evaluate.
Ministers will be aware of the long-overdue changes to shared parenting in the current Children and Families Bill. Will they liaise with their hon. Friends in the Department for Education to ensure that non-resident fathers are not deterred from engaging in their children’s lives as much as possible because of welfare changes that might make it difficult for them to secure appropriate accommodation when their children come to stay?

First, may I welcome the fantastic work my hon. Friend did when he was in that job? He is absolutely right, and I will ensure that we liaise with colleagues and make that argument strongly, but it is one that I think they already bear in mind strongly.

Blanket exemptions are not the most effective or affordable approach to targeting resources. We have however made sure that those likely to be affected will be able to get the support and advice that they need.
There are a number of options available to those affected including, for those that already undertake some work, increasing their hours, or alternatively finding work.
