[said:]: We knew from the disappointing figures in 2006/07 that we were unlikely to see reductions in the child poverty figures for 07/08, but I'm pleased the child poverty rates have remained broadly stable, as the figures published today reveal. In budget 2007 and since, we took strong prescriptive actions to put reductions in Child Poverty rates back on track, and we expect the benefits of those measures to show first in 08/09 and 09/10. We estimate these measures will lift around 500,000 children out of poverty.
