Proceeding contribution from Jim Sheridan (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 1 May 2008. It occurred during Debate on Child Poverty in Scotland.

Child Poverty in Scotland

The hon. Gentleman identifies an aim, not an objective. Having read the report, I did not see any suggestion that an independent Scotland would reduce child poverty. Given that he is a member of the Committee, does he accept that, and if not, why not?
