Micah Challenge Welcomes Prime Minister's Question Time on 'Poverty'

Christian coalition Micah Challenge UK has the question of an MP to the Prime Minister asking how the UK Government aims to keep promises to halve extreme poverty by 2015.

Andrew George, MP for St Ives, asked Tony Blair during Prime Minister's Question Time on Wednesday what progress he would report to forthcoming EU and G8 summits on the Millennium Development Goals.

His words were inspired by 'The World Can't Wait' rally, which is expected to draw 10,000 people to the banks of the Thames on 2 June. Before the rally Christians will be joining to 'Blow the Whistle' at a worship service in Central Methodist Hall at Westminster.
