Poverty: Children
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what plans he has to allow for an adequate level of parliamentary scrutiny of the delivery of the planned child poverty strategy.
Answered by Dame Diana Johnson
Tackling child poverty is at the heart of this Government’s mission to break down barriers to opportunity. The Child Poverty Taskforce will publish a Child Poverty Strategy in the autumn that will deliver measures to tackle the structural and root causes of child poverty.
The Strategy publication will set out how we intend to monitor and evaluate delivery of the strategy from this year and in future years.
