Proceeding contribution from Cheryl Gillan (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 25 February 2010. It occurred during Debate on Welsh Affairs.


Welsh Affairs

While the right hon. Gentleman is painting such a rosy picture of Labour's time in office, could he explain why 200,000 children in Wales still live in poverty—as measured before and after housing costs in the Department for Work and Pensions report, "Households Below Average Income 2007-08"? Can he also explain why Save the Children claimed last month that 96,000 children in Wales are living in severe poverty under his Government?
