Child Poverty Bill
12:00 pm
Judy Mallaber (Amber Valley, Labour)
We seem to be partly in an argument about whether it is a lack of income that leads to other problems. While accepting some of the very difficult families in multiple deprivation that we have been talking about, I see a large number of families in my constituency who have been helped solely because they have been given more income. Could you all comment on whether it is the case that for a substantial number of people, just having more income would resolve their other problems? Secondly, to what extent do you think it would be sensible to put more and more targets within one Bill, as is being suggested by adding yet more areas to different clauses?
