To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, how many children in Scotland are living in (a) relative and (b) absolute poverty.
Estimates of the number and proportion of children in relative and absolute low income are published in the National Statistics Households Below Average Income series. These estimates are available as three-year averages to 2012/13, and show that in 2010/11-2012/13 the number and percentage of children in relative and absolute low income was 0.2 million (17%) and 0.2 million (18%) respectively.

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what estimate he has made of the number of children in Scotland living in poverty in each year since 2010.
Estimates of the number and proportion of children in relative low income are published in the National Statistics Households Below Average Income (HBAI) series. This information is captured using the Family Resources Survey (FRS) and has been reported since 1998/99. These estimates are available for each financial year up to 2012/13, the latest period for which estimates are available.
Average figures for three survey years have been combined for region and individual countries; this is because single year estimates are not considered to be sufficiently reliable for geographies at a lower level than the UK. The estimates for Scotland can be found below:

These estimates are available for each financial year up to 2012/13, the latest period for which estimates are available.
The number and proportion of adults and children in relative poverty is not available at constituency level. This is because the survey sample sizes are too small to support the production of robust estimates at this level.

I am sure that you are indeed acquainted, as I am, with the problems that share fisherman face, Mr. Deputy Speaker. The Government ought to be focusing on two opportunities: the equalisation of child benefit, which has been referred to, and the introduction of seasonal grants, which, Save the Children...

I am under some time pressure, so I will not take the hon. Gentleman’s intervention. There is another phenomenon experienced in my constituency, whereby a number of people have two or three part-time jobs to make up one equivalent full-time job or are in seasonal employment, making a lot of...

It is genuinely a pleasure to follow the right hon. Member for Coatbridge, Chryston and Bellshill (Mr. Clarke), who made a reasoned and knowledgeable contribution.

Much of the support for child care that the Minister’s Department has provided in recent years for people wanting to go back to work has been contingent on the availability of registered child minders. In many communities, such as the small islands that I represent, there are no registered child...

The hon. Gentleman spoke of ““clawing back”” tax credit overpayments from people who could ill afford to repay the money. Is it now his party’s policy to write off tax credit overpayments?
