Poverty in Britain today has reached crisis proportions. About one in seven children is being brought up on Supplementary Benefit - that means 11.30p a day to meet all the normal needs of a 10-year-old. Meanwhile, the gap between rich and poor is growing; tax-cuts for the top tax payer, benefit cuts for the poor. Child Poverty Action Group looks at a society where five per cent of the population still own nearly half the wealth, to find out who gets the benefit and who pays the price.
