Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 February 2026

Debate

Better Start Longitudinal Programmes

Contribution

My Lords, many noble Lords would support the objectives of the Better Start longitudinal programme, with its focus on improving children’s diet and nutrition, social and emotional development, and speech, language and communication skills. But can the Minister explain how, rather than with a top-down, Whitehall or Westminster-knows-best attitude, it is working with local civil society organisations, such as BRITE Box, which works with families and local communities to help them learn how to cook healthier meals on a budget to improve their nutrition and well-being?
