Proceeding contribution from Andrew Selous (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 December 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Child Poverty Bill.
Child Poverty Bill
I am happy to intervene briefly on my hon. Friend to give the Government's figures on HBAI for 2007-08, from which the hon. Member for Northavon (Steve Webb) has frequently quoted. Table 4 on page 66 shows that the chance of being in poverty is 36 per cent. for a child of lone parents and 18 per cent. for a child of a couple—half that rate. Those are the Government's own figures from a central DWP document on child poverty.
