Welfare Benefits Up-rating Bill

Proceeding contribution from Ann McKechin (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 8 January 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Welfare Benefits Up-rating Bill.

I am grateful to my hon. Friend for making some strong points. Does he agree with me that one other group of people in our

society who will be severely impacted by the change is children? We are going to see an increase in absolute poverty and relative poverty for children, which will take us back to the level we had over 10 years ago. It is wholly unfair that they should be prejudiced in this manner.
