This question was answered on 8th January 2020
This Office has regular discussions with the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions on a range of issues.
The Hon. Lady will know, the Scottish Government also controls a number of powers to tackle poverty, and I believe that it is important that Scotland’s two Governments work together to address the critical issue of child poverty.
