Child Poverty Bill

Proceeding contribution from Sally Keeble (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 July 2009. It occurred during Debate on bills on Child Poverty Bill.
As a member of the Treasury Select Committee, may I say that although no specific measures were announced in the most recent statement, one of the most significant measures to tackle child poverty—which is about increasing housing benefit and council tax benefit—will come into effect this autumn, and that it was pre-announced quite some time ago?
