Proceeding contribution from Helen Goodman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 28 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

It was interesting that the hon. Member for Peterborough (Mr Jackson) mentioned the UNICEF report, because Denmark came at the top and Britain came very low down. I want to remind hon. Members that Denmark has the highest rate of lone parenthood and the Danish can combine that with good child well-being because they have a strong welfare state. Does not my hon. Friend think that that is far more important in addressing child poverty and well-being?
