Proceeding contribution from Karen Buck (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 am interested in that question. Is not it the case that the Institute for Fiscal Studies and the Child Poverty Action Group estimate that, if the definition of severe poverty now being promoted by the Conservative party were applied to its record in government, severe poverty would have increased by 500 per cent. during those 18 years?
