(asked on 9th June 2014) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what action they are taking to reduce the number of children living in poverty.
This question was answered on 18th June 2014
This Government remains committed to ending child poverty by 2020. Our approach, based on our published Evidence Review , is to tackle the root causes of child poverty, both now and in the future, by focussing on worklessness, low pay and raising educational attainment. This approach and the actions we propose to take are set out in full in our draft Child Poverty Strategy 2014-17. We will shortly publish the final version of the Strategy.
