James Turner, chief executive of educational charity the Sutton Trust, said the poorest children suffer the most. According to official figures, more than four million or nearly a third of all children in Britain are living in poverty. Last month, the government promised to distribute a million laptops to poorer families. It later pledged a further 300,000.According to campaigners, the government initiative only tackles the tip of the iceberg.

Another family had only one lightbulb, he said. They refused more, fearing not being able to pay the bill.
