Proceeding contribution from John Howell (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 hon. Gentleman is making an interesting point, with which I happen to agree: a lot of the effort should be local rather than central. However, why then does he agree with a Bill that is so rigid in its central planning diktat for local government?
