I can confirm that my hon.
Friend is right.
The number is far greater throughout the country as a whole, where1.1 million children have now moved above the poverty line. In relation to disabled children, we are this year increasing the disabled child premium in income-related benefits, which are received by the poorest families with disabled children. We are doing so because we recognise the need to target more help on families with disabled children. The Government continue to support Remploy through my colleagues in the Department for Education and Employment, who have introduced new leadership for the company and are planning a long-term secure future for supported employment. However, that is only part of the picture of what the Government are doing to improve employment opportunities for disabled people.
