Proceeding contribution from William Cash (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 22 March 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Child Poverty Bill.


Child Poverty Bill

I do not disagree with that at all. I am merely saying that in the Bill there seems to be a lack of awareness of the moral dimension, which I believe is necessary. Furthermore, the language of the Bill is largely based on statistics and socio-economic analysis, rather than on the kind of objectives from which we all assume that children and young people in poverty would benefit as a result of being brought up properly. It is quite simple.
