Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether there is a central point in the Government co-ordinating (a) policy responses and (b) financial responses to tackling child poverty.

Tackling child poverty is a key priority for this Government.

We are working closely with counterparts across government, ensuring a collective approach to the policies and interventions that can make a difference to children’s outcomes, now and in the future.
