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


Child Poverty Bill

The Minister may not have been passionate in her espousal of the importance of housing in tackling poverty, but she has at least acknowledged it, and I welcome the extra money that is coming to the East Riding of Yorkshire for additional affordable housing. Can she explain, however, why a Government supposedly committed to eradicating child poverty have built fewer houses in any year of their time in government than were built in any year of the previous Conservative Administration?
