The question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what steps she is taking with Cabinet colleagues to promote equality as part of the Government mission entitled Break Down Barriers to Opportunity.

Answered by Bridget Phillipson

Our mission to spread opportunity will break the link between background and success. That’s why we’re extending free school meals to all children in households on Universal Credit – lifting 100,000 children across England out of poverty


We’re working to create a fairer Britain, where every child has the opportunity to succeed, no matter their background.
