Proceeding contribution from John Mason (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 December 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Child Poverty Bill.


Child Poverty Bill

I noticed the hon. Gentleman's phrase about hard work being rewarded, and there is a problem in that a lot of the children in poverty have one or more parents working. Would he be happy to support a higher minimum wage and, in fact, a living wage?
