Proceeding contribution from Steve Webb (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 December 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Child Poverty Bill.
Child Poverty Bill
I understand that it has been revealed since the pre-Budget report—it was not apparent in the statement—that the 1.5 per cent. increase in child benefit is actually a draw-down of the following year's increase. The following year will have not a full inflation increase but inflation less 1.5 per cent.—a real-terms cut. Was the Minister aware of that?
