Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by David Marshall (Labour). It was answered by Lord Browne of Ladyton (Labour) on Tuesday, 16 October 2007 on behalf of the Scotland Office.
Child Poverty (Glasgow)
- Question
- What recent estimate he has made of the number of children in the City of Glasgow area living in poverty.
- Answer
-
The Scottish measurement of poverty unfortunately does not provide numbers for households in each local authority. In Scotland, however, the number of children living in relative poverty, after housing costs, has fallen from 330,000 in 1998-99 to 250,000 in 2005-06—a drop of 80,000.
