Robert Key (Salisbury, Conservative)
With this it will be convenient to discuss new clause 3—The reductions in the causes of poverty targets—
‘(1) The Secretary of State shall make regulations setting out the causes of poverty targets.
(2) Such targets may include, but are not limited to:
(a) low educational attainment and erratic school performance;
(b) school leavers not in education, employment or training;
(c) registrations on the Child Protection Plan;
(d) teenage smoking and obesity;
(e) teenage pregnancy;
(f) children in homes with drug and alcohol addiction;
(g) children growing up in jobless households;
(h) serious personal debt.’.
