Child Poverty Bill

Proceeding contribution from Stephen Timms (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 July 2009. It occurred during Debate on bills on Child Poverty Bill.
I hope that the hon. Gentleman will recognise that clause 8(2)(b) refers to all children. The difficulty, though, is in defining what is meant by a child in care being below the poverty line—that is a measurement that cannot be addressed in the Bill. I agree, however, that we need to ensure that children in care, children in Traveller families and others benefit from the improvements that it sets out.
