Proceeding contribution from Baroness May of Maidenhead (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 July 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Child Poverty Bill.


Child Poverty Bill

The Secretary of State knows full well how we will pay for the proposal—[Interruption.] Oh yes she does, because we set it out at the time—[Interruption.] The Secretary of State says that these are measures that the Government are already taking. Well, that is not the case, as I will show. Sadly, what this Government are doing on welfare reform—I assume she is referring to welfare reform—does not go far enough and will not have a sufficient impact on helping people back into work.
