The levels according to the absolute poverty measure are down 20,000 both before and after housing costs to 190,000 and 230,000 respectively.
Starmer also did not mention the Scottish Child Payment, a weekly payment of £26.70 introduced by the SNP, provided to lower income families for each child in their care.
Danny Dorling of Oxford University has said that the payment may have caused the largest fall in child poverty anywhere in Europe since the fall of the Berlin Wall.
