Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask His Majesty's Government when they plan to publish the child poverty strategy.

The Child Poverty Strategy was published on Friday 5 December.

It sets out the steps we are taking to reduce child poverty in the short term, as well as putting in place the building blocks we need to change the course we’re on and create long-term change.

The action we are taking includes removing the two child limit on Universal Credit, support for working families to stop children growing up in B&Bs, expanding childcare for families on UC and helping parents save up to £500 on baby formula

The Strategy will lift around 550,000 children out of poverty and will see the largest expected reduction in child poverty over a Parliament since comparable records began.
