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

Child Poverty Bill

The hon. Gentleman is right: the earlier we start on such programmes, the better. That is why, for example, we have introduced the health in pregnancy grant, and why milk vouchers are still available for very low-income families. However, I am anxious not to stray beyond the terms of the amendment. The proposals and the PBR announcement were welcomed in the other place, and I urge the House to agree to these Lords amendments.
