Stephen Kinnock

Labour — Aberafan Maesteg

Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 September 2026

Debate

Child Poverty

Contribution

I agree with my hon. Friend that co-operation between the UK and Welsh Governments is essential for addressing child poverty in Wales. The UK Government worked closely with the previous Welsh Labour Government on the design of the child poverty strategy, which will lift 550,000 children out of poverty across the UK by 2030, delivering the largest expected reduction in child poverty since records began.
