👇👇👇Remember - this piece of legislation is the *only* intervention introduced over this mandate to tackle child poverty - it represents a small, and positive step forward.

This debate (first 30 mins) on the last stage of the 'Holiday Hunger' Bill was excellent. Siobhán @WSN_NI + John from @ChildLawCentre articulated clearly that this legislation is the only potential progress in tackling child poverty in this mandate: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…
