To ask the Scottish Executive what its definition is of poverty in relation to income in Scotland today and, within the terms of its definition, how many families, pensioners and children live in poverty in Scotland today. As is described in detail in the Technical Document which accompanied Social Justice: a Scotland Where Everyone Matters, published on 22 November, we recognise a number of definitions of income poverty, covering relative, absolute and persistent low income.In future annual Social Justice reports we intend to use indicators that show the proportions of children, working age people and older people living in households with less than 50, 60 and 70 per cent of median GB income and less than 50 and 60 per cent of mean GB income, both before (BHC) and after (AHC) deduction of housing costs.
