RE: new child poverty figures

The latest CPAG publication, "Child Poverty - the facts", downloadable from their Web page, is also highly informative.
on a related subject - Fuel Poverty: those affected are said to be spending more than 10% of their income on fuel bills. Based on that critieria, most all claimants particularly those on income based Benefits suffer from fuel poverty.
We are supposed to be the fourth or fifth richest economy in the world are we not? If so then it is totally unacceptable that the word Poverty should still be in common use in such an affluent society...............
