Child Poverty Bill

Not only is that not a question, but the right hon. Gentleman still has not said whether his party is prepared to support the action and investment to do something about child poverty. We have seen—the figures show this—that 500,000 children have been lifted out of poverty as a result of the action that the Government have taken. If we had simply followed the policies of the previous Government—his Government—child poverty would be 2.1 million higher than it is today.
