Debate
Social Security Benefits Up-rating Order 2025Contribution
I will try to run through the other questions quickly. I have plenty of time. On the question of food banks, this Government are committed to reducing mass dependence on food banks, and we are open to evidence from anywhere, including from the Church —particularly in relation to child poverty—about what is driving that. I am meeting with Church organisations and looking forward to visiting projects exactly to see at first hand the kind of things the right reverend Prelate is describing. We are keen to learn from that as part of the process in trying to review the child poverty strategy. I ask noble Lords to intervene if I have missed anything out.
