Proceeding contribution from John Penrose (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 June 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Deprivation/Child Poverty.


Deprivation/Child Poverty

Before the Minister moves on from that point, will he confirm that his ministerial colleagues were incorrect when they said that the relative measure of poverty, which allows international comparisons, was in some way a flawed mechanism for comparing either pensioner poverty across different countries in Europe or, indeed, any other kind of poverty?
