Proceeding contribution from Graham Stuart (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 6 May 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

The promise was made to halve child poverty by 2010. The right hon. Lady should tell the House and the people of this country now: is that target going to be met?
