Will the Minister indicate the sensible policies he intends to pursue to address the situation of the 375,000 children in this country who are experiencing extreme poverty? It is not acceptable in 2014 that our society should be so unequal and divided. Given the level of wealth and resources in this country, it is unacceptable that we cannot target those resources to help the hundreds of thousands of children living in poverty.
