Proceeding contribution from Andrea Leadsom (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 20 July 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

That is the sisterhood. I want to make a point about pushchairs, prams, car seats and cots. To my certain knowledge, from having been involved for a long time with a charity that works closely with families and their babies, there is a surplus of those items in charity shops. People refuse to purchase or even to accept them, and I was interested to learn that the hon. Lady believes that part of the definition of poverty is if someone cannot have all those items new.
