Proceeding contribution from Emma Reynolds (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 September 2026. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Economic Growth.


Economic Growth

I agree with my hon. Friend that it is simply not acceptable that we live in a country where children are in poverty. The last Government plunged 900,000 children into child poverty. We are proud to be the Labour Government who lifted the two-child limit and lifted 450,000 children out of poverty.
