Child Trust Funds Bill — Clause 10 — Further Contributions by Inland Revenue — 13 May 2004 at 14:30

Desmond Swayne MP, New Forest West voted in the minority (Aye).

I beg to move amendment (a) thereto.

Lords amendment No. 7 is rather curious and a little troubling. It gives the Government the power to make payments to children in custody. Those children would, as I understand it, otherwise be excluded because no one is in receipt of child benefit on their behalf.

Question put, That the amendment be made-

The House divided: Ayes 92, Noes 263.
