Poverty: Scotland
Asked by: Chris Law (Scottish National Party - Dundee Central) Wednesday 9th July 2025 Question to the Scotland Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the Government's policies on child poverty on children in Scotland. Answered by Kirsty McNeill - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Scotland Office) The Honourable Member will be aware of recent announcements about Best Start Family Hubs, free school meals and affordable childcare - actions made possible because of a budget he and his colleagues voted against.
A key way to tackle poverty is through decent work which is why I'm proud that more than 4,000 workers in Dundee got a pay rise through this government’s plans to Make Work Pay. The Child Poverty Taskforce is considering all available levers to give every child the best start in life as part of the strategy. |
