Child Poverty Bill

I thank the Minister for that intervention. I absolutely do not want to say that he was saying that it is a minor problem, because I know perfectly well he knows that it is not a minor problem; it is a major problem. This, however, is a declamatory Bill in a lot of its aspects. I do not mean to be rude—do not take that in the wrong way—it is trying to say that child poverty is important. In that sense, it is a Bill that is trying to make a point and shift perceptions generally. In that context, it would also appear to be absolutely appropriate to take "mental health" out, and make clear that it is vital in that context. So it is an incredibly small change in the sense that it is just perceptions and one can interpret health to be mental health—people do—but you are making a statement about the importance of mental health in this area and I think that is valuable in the context of an attempt to deal with child poverty. With those observations, for the time being, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 33 withdrawn.
