Proceeding contribution from Lord Freud (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 25 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Child Poverty Bill.

Child Poverty Bill

From memory, I think the figures showed that a lone female parent’s income declines by 28 per cent, whereas men’s income goes up by 4 per cent. I can be corrected on these figures.
