Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, which organisations have presented to the Child Poverty Taskforce ministerial advisory sessions; and on what topics.

The Taskforce has consulted external experts seven times on the four pillars of the strategy: increasing incomes, reducing essential costs, increasing financial resilience, and better local support, especially in the early years. Experts have come from a range of organisations, including local and regional government, charities, think tanks, businesses, and the public sector. More details will be set out in the strategy publication.
