  • Tackling Child Poverty (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Dee Doocey
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    I would be interested in the panel's view of the findings of the Joseph Rowntree Trust that said that £4-5 billion per annum is going to be needed from the Government in order to reach the targets.

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    Isn't that precisely the point that I have been making: that you are sitting there waiting for the poor to come to you, rather than' Brian Coleman (Chairman): I do not quite think that that is what the Bishop said at all, Mr Arbour, to intervene on his behalf. The Bishop can explain himself.
