Proceeding contribution from Baroness Harman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 6 March 2008. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

Next week, there will be a Budget debate. When the Conservatives were in government, poverty was scarcely mentioned and tackling it was certainly not a public policy objective. The hon. Gentleman should wait and see what the Budget says, then he is free to join us in that debate in expressing our concern to tackle child poverty.
