Schedule 1
Child Poverty Bill
7:00 pm
David Gauke (Shadow Minister, Treasury; South West Hertfordshire, Conservative)
The Minister may say that that is for the Secretary of State’s discretion, but I am afraid that a Secretary of State might quickly find herself in court if she relied on those words. If it is a question of a different approach to tackling the child poverty targets, I do not think that the Secretary of State has much discretion.
