	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/06/2014 answer text <p /> <p /> <p /> <p /> <p>The Government does not produce forecasts of the number of children living in income poverty either locally or nationally. The number of children in poverty is dependent on a number of factors which cannot be reliably predicted, including the median income.</p><p> </p><p>The Government does not believe it is possible to accurately project child poverty to 2020. Poverty projections are rarely accurate. For example, IFS projections in October 2011 suggested the number of children in relative poverty would fall by 100,000 in 2010/11, whereas in fact it fell by 300,000.</p> answering member constituency Wirral West answering member printed Esther McVey question first answered 16/06/2014 16:37:54 answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey
