Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

What recent discussions she has had with the Secretary of State for Education on support for vulnerable children.

The Secretary of State frequently meets with counterparts across Government to discuss a range of issues, including how we can support families and vulnerable children, so we can deliver on our clear manifesto commitment to reduce child poverty.

Just last week, we announced the extension of the Covid Local Support Grant to 30^th September, with a further £160 million of support to be delivered across England and primarily targeted at vulnerable families with children.
