Child Poverty Bill

I am sorry, but I did not quite follow what the noble Lord was saying. He was congratulating someone—was it the Government?—on the fact that they were not helping the process of this, frankly, forced part-time working. What we have actually got is a great deal of hidden unemployment. This affects not only factory workers but, as the noble Lord will know from his experience in the City, includes city solicitors and so on. Through this hidden unemployment, many people are effectively being forced to take a pay cut and being forced onto part-time working. Was the noble Lord congratulating the Government on not doing anything about that? I could not quite follow what he was saying.
