Government burying bad news according to the Indie

The Independent is carrying a story that Labour is 'burying bad news' of poverty study until after elections

According to political editor Andrew Grice

The figures, normally issued in March, will be disclosed on 2 May, the day after local authority elections in England and Wales, The Independent can reveal. Many results, including the contest for London Mayor, will not be announced until 2 May and they are likely to dominate media coverage, swamping the poverty figures

adding that

Independent experts expect the statistics to show Labour is in danger of missing its flagship target of halving child poverty by 2010 and abolish it by 2020

.

Of course it will not be the first time that the government has been accused of burying bad news
