Proceeding contribution from Mike Weir (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 1 May 2008. It occurred during Debate on Child Poverty in Scotland.


Child Poverty in Scotland

Before my hon. Friend moves on to the subject of the DWP, does he agree that the decision by the new Scottish Government to start a council house building programme will go a long way to tackling the housing problem that is at the root of such poverty, as there is a severe shortage of affordable housing, especially for rent, in Scotland?
