Child Poverty Bill

Proceeding contribution from Yvette Cooper (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 July 2009. It occurred during Debate on bills on Child Poverty Bill.
Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker. I agree with the hon. Member for Broxbourne (Mr. Walker) that we need to do more to support children who have health problems, including obesity, but we also have to help those children out of poverty. If his party will not face up to the fact that parents who lose their jobs are far more likely still to be in poverty in years to come if they do not get help to get back into work now, he is blind to the serious problems of child poverty across this country.
