Proceeding contribution from Lord Martin of Springburn (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 9 March 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Child Poverty Bill.
Child Poverty Bill
The Minister referred to "working" with poverty. I mean no disrespect, but a social worker goes into an area of poverty and does a job of work; I am talking about people who live in that poverty and do excellent work. There is no point in saying, "Let us pick someone who is poor", put them on the commission and leave it at that. People who live in such areas seven days a week have proven that they are good at helping their communities.
