Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate his Department has made of the number of children experiencing material deprivation in each of the last 10 years.

Figures for combined low income and material deprivation have been published in HBAI since 2004/05 and are available up to 2013/14.
