Proceeding contribution from Jamie Reed (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 July 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Child Poverty Bill.


Child Poverty Bill

I understand that the definition of severe poverty has been roundly condemned by the agencies most concerned about the alleviation of child poverty in this country. It is seen as something of a smokescreen put up by a party that, sadly, refuses to support the very measure that has taken so many children out of poverty.
