Proceeding contribution from Judy Mallaber (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 agree that it seems eccentric to think that a Conservative policy could assist in dealing with child poverty, given that it might mean that a man who is on his third wife would still get extra benefits from their marriage allowance, while his first wife, who might still be looking after their children as a lone parent, would be being discriminated against and have an allowance taken away?
