CHILD POVERTY

Early day motion 436, tabled 28 June 2005 by Paul Flynn (Labour). Signed by 35 members.

That this House welcomes UNICEF's new analysis, Child Poverty in Rich Countries 2005, which reveals that the UK has achieved a greater reduction in child poverty than the other 23 developed countries examined; and notes UNICEF's commendation of the transparency and credibility of the UK's approach, which independent research indicates is likely to achieve its stated ambitious targets.
