Child Poverty Bill

I just remind the noble Lord that, as well as low income and material deprivation targets, there is a persistent poverty target in the Bill, although we had a debate about whether that should be persistent material deprivation. I am not sure that we agreed to differ but we did differ on that. However, this is not just a question of the 60 per cent target. In fact, for low income and material deprivation, the equivalised net income is based on 70 per cent of median equivalised income.
