Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hollis of Heigham (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 27 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Child Poverty Bill.


Child Poverty Bill

Certainly many of the arguments we are making turn on how poverty causes poor nutrition because the money is not available to pay for school meals that we would all like to see. I really do not accept how the noble Lord seeks to turn it the other way around.
