Proceeding contribution from Sally Keeble (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 December 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Child Poverty Bill.


Child Poverty Bill

Does the hon. Gentleman accept that, in about 1980, about one in three children were growing up in poverty, compared with just under one in five now? By any standard, a society with a third of its children growing up in poverty is much more dysfunctional.
