Will the Minister commit to a child poverty strategy that is robust, ambitious, detailed and offers targets that can be tracked?

Answered by Minister for Social Justice and Chief Whip | Answered on 20/10/2023

I have committed to deliver a refreshed Child Poverty Strategy which acknowledges the scale of the collective challenge we face and underlines our ambitions and vision for delivering on our duties to tackle poverty and support people living in poverty. 

A public consultation on the draft Child Poverty Strategy closed on the 11th September and we are now considering the responses in full.
