Tackling Poverty in the UK (10 Jun 2010)

Kate Green: It is a pleasure, Madam Deputy Speaker, to see you in the Chair. It has also been a pleasure this afternoon to listen to so many eloquent maiden speeches. I made my maiden speech two days ago, and it is amazing how quickly one can feel like an old timer in this House. I am delighted that we are having a debate so early in this new Parliament about the vital issue of poverty in this country. I...

Tackling Poverty in the UK (10 Jun 2010)

Kate Green: Will my hon. Friend confirm that the Child Poverty Act has provided for the relative poverty measure to continue to be an element of the way in which we measure success and progress on poverty? Does she agree that that is the most meaningful measure for determining that we are ensuring that living standards for all, including the poorest, keep up as society's wealth improves?

Tackling Poverty in the UK (10 Jun 2010)

Kate Green: Does the Minister agree that evidence also shows that children from the poorest families are unable to make the most of their education? At as early as 22 months, children from poorer backgrounds are doing less well than children from better-off backgrounds and that gap continues to widen as they go through the school system. Does he agree that efforts to address both educational attainment...

Tackling Poverty in the UK (10 Jun 2010)

Kate Green: I agree strongly with the Secretary of State that leading people to, and enabling them to sustain, well-paid jobs is an important route out of poverty, but with only about 0.5 million vacancies-and, as his Government have said, about 5 million on inactive and unemployment benefits-can he confirm that an adequate safety net for people who cannot be in paid work will be sustained, and in...

Tackling Poverty in the UK (10 Jun 2010)

Business of the House (10 Jun 2010)

Kate Green: The Leader of the House will be aware of the significant concerns among hon. Members about the business practices of banks, in which, of course, we now hold a substantial stake. The Royal Bank of Scotland in Partington-one of the most deprived areas of my constituency-has just announced closure plans. Will he ensure that there is time to debate the future of the banking sector and to discuss...

Speaker's Statement: Economic Affairs and Work and Pensions ( 8 Jun 2010)

Kate Green: I am hugely proud to be giving my maiden speech this afternoon as the new Member for Stretford and Urmston. I think that mine is the first maiden speech today. My constituency is, of course, very special. I am deeply privileged to represent it and I hope to serve my constituents well. My first act in Parliament must be to pay tribute to my predecessors, starting with the right hon. Beverley...

Oral Answers to Questions — Treasury: Tax Avoidance ( 8 Jun 2010)

Kate Green: Is not the general view correct, and the estimated tax gap of £40 billion a significant underestimate? Will the Minister explain how cuts to HMRC staffing and capacity are to be aligned with attempts to close the tax gap?

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Education and Health ( 2 Jun 2010)

Kate Green: Will the Secretary of State confirm that he is aware of some of the successful pilots that have been attempted in recent years to provide free school meals on a universal basis in some of our primary schools? Will he confirm that the educational and health gains that have been seen as a result of those pilots will now be taken forward, and that his Government will commit to continuing the...
