Proceeding contribution from Liam Byrne (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 November 2011. It occurred during Opposition day on Living Standards.


Living Standards

Is the hon. Gentleman as concerned as I am about the Institute for Fiscal Studies estimate that a further 600,000 children will be plunged into absolute poverty over the course of this Parliament, and is he worried about the Treasury's own analysis published yesterday showing that 100,000 children may fall into child poverty over the next year or two?
