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


Child Poverty Bill

I respect the hon. Gentleman's expertise in this matter, and I shall therefore ask him a genuine question removed from the party political issues. Does he think that it is possible for a family living wholly on benefits to be living above the poverty line?
