Child Poverty Bill

Proceeding contribution from William Cash (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 22 March 2010. It occurred during Debate on bills on Child Poverty Bill.
In the context of the proposals to introduce these measures on child poverty, does the Minister accept that a child can be in poverty not merely because of the criteria set out in clause 24, which relate to this provision, but because of the fact that there might be degraded circumstances in which the moral force and moral environment of the family in question induces it? It is not just socio-economic; it is also about the question of how they are brought up and the manner in which the child is treated, as we have found so often with these terrible tragic cases that have led to deaths in many instances.
