Labour — Houghton and Sunderland South

Speaking in the House of Commons on 9 December 2024

Debate

Child Poverty

Contribution

I agree; it is absolutely right that children in my hon. Friend’s constituency deserve every chance to achieve and thrive, and that is the ultimate goal of our child poverty taskforce. As the Prime Minister set out just last week through our plan for change, we want to give every child the best start in life, and that is just not possible if millions of children across our country are growing up in poverty.
