Proceeding contribution from Danny Alexander (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 21 February 2008. It occurred during Legislative debate on Social Security.
Social Security
I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman, who has indeed been generous in giving way. He is making an important point about how the Government are way off meeting their child poverty target. The latest assessments suggest that the target will not be met until a number of decades beyond 2020. I thought the Conservative party was signed up to the objective of abolishing child poverty by 2020. Will the hon. Gentleman confirm that?
