Proceeding contribution from John Howell (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 22 March 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Child Poverty Bill.
Child Poverty Bill
Like my hon. Friend, I welcome Lords amendment 4 and its focus on those most at risk. However, does he share my concern that we do not have any criteria for understanding how to decide who are most at risk? Does he agree that that decision can be made only by looking at the causes of poverty, rather than simply using fractions of income between different groups? The change is welcome, but we need to understand how Ministers will make the decision.
