Proceeding contribution from Graham Stuart (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 July 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Child Poverty Bill.
Child Poverty Bill
Those are just warm words in clause 8. They are not a strategy. The Bill simply states that we must have good education and good conditions; it covers a variety of matters, but in no way adds up to a strategy. Indeed, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation has said that the policy on fighting poverty for the past 10 years is now exhausted. We need a new one, but it is not in the Bill.
