Amendment No. 11 is out of order as it is a potential charge on the Exchequer. The amendment seeks to amend section 6 with regard to the definition of relevant age of a child in respect of entitlement to the one-parent family payment. The amendment provides for the restoration of the qualifying age for children from seven years of age to 12 years. This amendment could involve a charge on the Exchequer and therefore must be ruled out of order in accordance with Standing Order 1563.
