Proceeding contribution from Kate Green (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 22 November 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Savings Accounts and Health in Pregnancy Grant Bill.


Savings Accounts and Health in Pregnancy Grant Bill

I am sure the hon. Gentleman will agree that the majority of mothers are not substance misusers or alcoholics. Indeed, there is considerable evidence over many years, including from the Policy Studies Institute, that shows that if women are given more money, what they do, as my hon. Friend the Member for Bristol East (Kerry McCarthy) said, is spend it on their kids.
