Child Poverty Strategy

Contribution

My Lords, the Government are progressing urgent legislation to remove the two-child limit from April, which is expected to lift 450,000 children out of poverty by the final year of this Parliament. Our monitoring and evaluations framework sets out our plans to track progress as part of our 10-year strategy for delivering long-term change. This summer we will publish a baseline report setting out the latest statistics and evidence, with annual reporting thereafter.
