That this House notes the launch of the Child Poverty Action Group's 2 Skint 4 School campaign; supports the principle of the campaign that every child deserves a fair chance to learn; welcomes the attention drawn by the campaign to the additional challenges Britain's poorest children face in the education system; and calls on the Government to give greater recognition to the importance of progress on the eradication of child poverty to the improvement of education outcomes and achievement in school.
