The financial costs of family breakdown are incredibly high.

Thankfully, due to the United Kingdom and the commitment of the Westminster government we are able to ensure that money brought in, whether it be from the City of London or from North Sea oil, can be pooled and directed to wherever it is needed most.

My personal view is always I'm in favour of anything that gives parliament a greater say. That's after all what we were elected for.

My view is pensioners don't have the one option that people of working age have. They can't really increase their income, because they are no longer able to work.

A system that was originally designed to support the poorest in society is now trapping them in the very condition it was supposed to alleviate.

I am also incredibly proud of my party because today we have two strong woman candidates going to the country, we will have a women PM and it is the Conservative party yet again leading the way on this and it says to women all over the country you can get to the top.

By measuring the proportion of children living with the same parents from birth and whether their parents report a good quality relationship we are driving home the message that social programmes should promote family stability and avert breakdown.
