Welfare Reform and Work Bill

Proceeding contribution from Helen Jones (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 July 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Welfare Reform and Work Bill.

Does the hon. Gentleman accept that the measures in the Bill do not recognise the fact that two-thirds of children in poverty are from families in work, and that the number of poor children in families in work, as a proportion of all children in poverty, has been increasing? It increased under his Government from 54% to 63% and he is not even going to measure that.
