Child Poverty Bill

Let me take up the noble Baroness’s point. I was actually quoting from the OECD on this. The simple point that it is making is that you are better helping some of the children who are absolutely the worst off in kind. What I am saying is that that kind of effective intervention, if that is what the policy should be, is actively discouraged by a set of targets that has no way of measuring the in-kind intervention as it stands.
