Labour — Houghton and Sunderland South

Speaking in the House of Commons on 9 September 2026

Debate

Removing Children from Poverty

Contribution

While recognising the differences that exist in Northern Ireland, I am sure that Ministers would be happy to discuss further any ideas that the hon. Gentleman has.
